Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook
At least 40 people have been wounded; one is in critical condition and a second victim was wounded moderately. The attackers opened fire on the students before one of them was gunned down himself. A second terrorist apparently escaped and may be hiding in the yeshiva building. Security forces are deployed in the surrounding neighborhood, with police scouring the yeshiva and connected buildings. All the students have been evacuated, according to police spokesmen. The yeshiva, founded by Rabbi Avaraham Yitzhak Kook, is at the heart of the national-religious movement in Israel. IsraelNN.com
