Round-up of events overnight

US President Barack Obama has condemned yesterday's synagogue attack, which killed three US citizens as well as a British national and an Israeli police officer. Calling the attack "horrific", Obama called on political leaders from both sides to seek to lower tensions in and around Jerusalem.
Israeli authorities last night demolished the home of Abdel Rahman al-Shaludi, the Palestinian man accused of intentionally killing two people, including a three-month old baby, when his car rammed into a group of pedestrians at a light rail stop in Jerusalem on 22 October.
Worshippers this morning returned to the West Jerusalem synagogue that was the scene of yesterday's attack. Reports surfaced yesterday suggesting that the killings may have been a revenge attack for the murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian teen who died after being burned alive by settlers. The father of one of Khdeir's killers regularly prayed at the synagogue.
