A Palestinian gunman opened fire in a central Jerusalem street Tuesday, wounding at least 45 people before he was shot to death by police. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for a raid by Israeli commandos several hours earlier that left four of its members dead. The Islamic militant group also issued a call for "all out war" against Israeli soldiers and settlers. Several people were seriously wounded in Tuesday's attack, which occurred on Jaffa Street, downtown Jerusalem's main traffic artery.
