The stream of news regarding the shooting that took place in occupied Al-Quds on Friday night and the conflicting news about the number of casualties plunged Israeli media into a state of panic and shock.

Israel media reported that the final toll of the shooting was 7 dead Israeli settlers and 7 wounded to this hour.

Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth military affairs commentator Yossi Yehoshua commented on the incident on Twitter, saying "a cruel attack took place this evening in Al-Quds."

"As we indicated yesterday, there was concern in the security establishment about an incident of the sort in Al-Quds or the West Bank" in light of the Israeli occupation forces raid on Jenin on Thursday. "This is the first important test for the government, not what happened in Jenin or the rockets fired from Gaza." 

Israeli Channel 12 military correspondent Nir Dvori said the shooting in Al-Quds "may be related to what happened in Jenin - an act of retaliation."

"The security establishment was aware that the rockets fired from Gaza was merely a symbolic response... because Hamas wants to ignite the situation in the West Bank and Al-Quds," he added.
