Israel is expressing its shock and concern and offering assistance to the local community following the shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Minister Naftali Bennett, Israel's Cabinet minister for diaspora affairs, made the comments following a Saturday morning shooting that police say has left several people dead.
Bennet says he is "following the news with concern," and has instructed Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs to prepare to assist the community in every possible way.
He adds: "Our hearts go out to the families of those killed and injured. May the memory of the murdered be blessed."
