Translator today in the middle of morning prayers while covered in prayer shawls, four rabbis were massacred. Four jews, innocent jews. Reporter two palestinian men armed with butcher knives and a pistol entered the building in an orthodox neighborhood in west jerusalem. The assailants traveling from East Jerusalem killing five men.

But Palestinian Authority president abbas condemned the attack. Netanyahu promised to respond with a heavy hand. Transhater i decided this evening to demolish the home of terrorists who committed this massacre and to accelerate the demolishment of the homes of previous terrorists. Reporter ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. Now the u. S. Has joined a chorus of nations in condemning the attack. Washington spent decades trying to forge peace between the israelis and palestinians. And on tuesday, president barack obama was once again urging for calm. Too many israelis have died. Too many palestinians have died. And at this difficult time, i think its important for both palestinians and israelis to Work Together to lower tensions and to reject violence. The synagogue massacre is the latest in a string of attacks on israelis. You may remember back on october 22nd, does says a palestinian driver hit a crowd at a train stop killing two people including a 3monthold baby in that attack. A short time ago, israel confirmed it had demolished the assailants home. One week later, an activist rabbi was seriously wounded in a driveby shooting allegedly by a palestinian. November 5th, two attacks in one day. Israel says a palestinian man ran over pedestrians at a train station in jerusalem killing one and injuring 13. Later that same day in the west bank, another attack with a van. Three Israeli Soldiers were struck by a man later identified as a palestinian. Lets get the latest now from jerusalem. Were joined live this morning. And you know, this specific attack at the synagogue took place just over 24 hours ago. It seems to have been an isolated incident. As i walked through the other events, really nothing is isolated when it comes to the Israeli Palestinian tensions there. What new information do you have on the synagogue attack now that its been a full day since it happened . Reporter of course, whats happened since then is we have a city on the edge still. Fortunately, overnight, it was relatively calm. Early this morning, the morning prayer continued at the synagogue with people still coming in for prayer despite that horrific attack. So there is this defiance to go on with everyday life here. Now in the meantime, of course, the government and security authorities have said they will deal with this with a heavy hand. Thing are quite tense here. Those wondering what will happen next essentially. Youre absolutely right. This is not an isolated incident. You can see from the timeline we showed before there have been a string of attacks. And this one, unfortunately, showed a great deal more coordination. Its really the first time in many years weve seen an attack on a place of worship like this, on a synagogue. Its shocking that a place of worship could be the scene of an attack. Having said that, its described as more of a lone wolf attack, something that is a bit more spontaneo spontaneous. That, of course, is the hardest kind of attack to prevent. We also mentioned in the Israeli Government response to this that some of the homes are being demolished of the perpetrators of the synagogue attack and another attack that weve mentioned. Considering that they are you cant really do anything about the larger issue or as far as who may be to blame. What does demolishing the attackers homes really accomplish here . Reporter this is a very longstanding policy by israeli authorities here to not only investigate what happened, but they often go in, not only arrest the people who perpetrated the attack but also family members and ultimately demolish homes. Overnight, for example, the home of the man who carried out the october 22nd attack with his car at a light rail station, his home of demolished. Critics say this is just collective punishment. That is, really just creating more tension, more anger in a lot of communities, particularly here in East Jerusalem. But for authorities, it is exactly the kind of heavy hand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was describing. Its almost inevitable that we will see more reactions like that ahead of us. All right. Reporting live in jerusalem, just past 9 08 in the morning. Thanks. We turn now to theed where the mayor of buffalo, new york now to the United States where the mayor of buffalo, new york, says the snowfall is heavier than anything theyve seen in 40 years.

In the wake of new rape allegations against american actor and comedian bill cosby, netflix is responding. Their Web Streaming Service says its postponing the launch of cosbys new standup comedy special. It was supposed to start streaming november 28th, the day after thanksgiving. Cosbys publicist says the comedian agrees with the netflix decision. Several women have gone public recently with Sexual Assault allegations against cosby including Barbara Bowman and joan tarshish. Former supermodel Janice Dickinson is the latest to come forward, accusing cosby of raping her in 1982. Listen to this after dinner in my room, he had given me wine and a pill, and the next morning i woke up, and i wasnt wearing my pajamas. I remember before i passed out that i had been sexually assaulted by this man. The last thing i remember was bill cosby opening his robe and getting on top. And i remember a lot of pain. Now we spoke to our senior media correspondent a short time ago about the latest news coming from netflix. Reporter i was surprised by the announcement tonight. It came in about an hour ago. Came after days of netflix just saying two words no comment. So theyve clearly decided enough is enough. It is appropriate for netflix to back away for this special for now, but as you were pointing out, they are reserving the option of streaming this show, of premiering it sometime in the future. Cnn reached out to cosby for reaction, but we have yet to hear back. Cosbys attorney has said the comedian doesnt intend to dignify decadeold discredited allegations.

Wilson wrote in the report that resident armand removed his cell phone and began recording. This is what the resident posted on youtube a brief but confrontational inneraction with the officer. [ barking ] [ bleep ] im not taking a picture, im recording this incident, sir. Do i not have the right to record . Reporter officer wilsons Police Report doesnt mention a threat to arrest ar Police Report doesnt mention a threat to arrest arest arman fo filming but the resident threatened to give his name. I advised arman i would not comply with his command and to remove the camera from my face to complete the process of the derelict vehicles. Arman refused to abide by any of my requests and only replied by stating that he needed my name. The Police Report shows wilson then arrested arman. The city of ferguson would not confirm the video is of officer Darren Wilson, citing the poor quality of the video. The mayor told me that the officers behavior, whoever it is, was inappropriate. We shouldnt be addressing our residents in that way, not at all, absolutely not. So i mean, that is concerning. Like i said, thats a video that i didnt only just extend to some of our Police Officers to try to figure out who it was of. I sent it to the chief and to the city manager. Reporter the aclu says citizen have every right to record in public with this exception you cant physically interfere with an arrest.
