At least nine people have detained in East Jerusalem after Tuesday morning's synagogue attack in a western district of the city.

Dozens of Israeli police stormed the Jabal al-Mukaber district and surrounded the home of suspected attackers Ghassan Abu Odai and Odai Abu Jamal, who were killed after the attack by police.

Several members of the Abu Jamal family have reportedly been detained by police and clashes have erupted in the area between Palestinian youths and Israeli security forces.
