The United States condemned Thursday's deadly shooting attack in a religious school in Jerusalem that left at least eight people killed.
"We condemn this act of terror and extend our condolences to the victims and their families," the State Department said in a statement.
At least six civilians and two terrorists were killed and 35 others wounded in a shooting attack at Jerusalem's Mercaz Harav Yeshiva on Thursday, witnesses reported.
Israeli media reports said one or two "terrorists" infiltrated in the religious school and opened fire indiscriminately at nightfall Thursday, killing and wounding students there.
Israeli Channel 2 TV said police special forces killed the two infiltrators.
Israel has been a staunch ally of the United States in the Middle East.
