Transcribed from the clipping

“JERUSALEM — A Palestinian gunman opened fire outside an east Jerusalem synagogue Friday night, killing seven people and wounding four before police shot him… It was the deadliest attack on Israelis in years… The attack, which took place as worshippers were celebrating the Jewish Sabbath, came a day after an Israeli military raid killed nine people in the West Bank… In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said the attack was ‘a revenge and natural response’ to the killing of nine Palestinians in Jenin on Thursday… Palestinians had marched in anger earlier Friday as they buried the last of the 10 Palestinians killed a day earlier…”

Both funerals in one story. The seven at the synagogue and the ten in Jenin, in that order, with Hamas’s claim of a reason quoted and not adopted.
