The Israeli government has decided to expedite the process of granting gun licenses following a deadly shooting near a synagogue in a Jerusalem neighborhood.
The move aims to increase the number of armed civilians and provide more protection for citizens. The shooting left two dead and several others injured, and the attacker was shot and killed by police.
The incident has led to calls for increased security measures and an expedited process for gun licensing.
“Firearm licensing will be expedited and expanded in order to enable thousands of additional citizens to carry weapons,” read a statement on the Facebook page of the Prime Minister of Israel.
