Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to win "a battle for Jerusalem" following a deadly attack on a synagogue.
Netanyahu warned that he will "settle the score" with every terrorist and added that all those who want to uproot the Israelis from their state and capital will not succeed, reported the BBC.
Tuesday's attack, in which two Palestinians killed four rabbis in West Jerusalem before being shot dead, followed weeks of unrest stirred by tension over a disputed holy site.
The attack was the "deadliest" in Jerusalem in six years. About 25 worshippers were present at the synagogue when the attack took place. Seven people were also seriously injured.
Declaring that Israel is embroiled in a battle over its "eternal capital," Jerusalem, Netanyahu ordered the home of the attackers to be destroyed.
He urged Israelis to stand together and to not take law into their hands even if "if spirits are riled and blood is boiling.
