OH OH somebody in troubleee The Israeli government has said it would seek to speed up the process for citizens to obtain firearms licenses in the wake of attacks in East Jerusalem. Israel's Security Cabinet agreed on new counterterrorism measures on Saturday evening, in response to deadly shootings in East Jerusalem this week, which the Israeli government labeled as terrorist incidents. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged a "strong, swift and precise" response following the deadly attacks, as the Israeli military also sent more troops into the West Bank. On Friday, a Palestinian gunman opened fire outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem, killing seven people and wounding several others before he was shot and killed by the police, according to Israeli police and health officials. Police officials have referred to the shooting as "one of the worst terror attacks in recent years." Less than 24 hours later, Israeli police said a 13-year-old Palestinian boy opened fire on a group of five people in East Jerusalem. Two men were injured in the attack on Saturday morning. The teen was "neutralized and injured," Israeli police said. www.dw.com/en/israel-plans-new-counterterrorism-measures-after-attacks/a-64548847
