Israeli police said Saturday they had arrested 42 people following a deadly shooting at an east Jerusalem synagogue, including members of the Palestinian gunman's family.

"The police arrested 42 suspects for questioning, some of them from the terrorist's family," as well as residents from his neighbourhood in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, a police statement said.
