Israel’s internal security agency said it had arrested more than 50 members of a Hamas cell in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem over recent weeks who were involved in planning attacks on Israelis.

The announcement came a day after a Hamas gunman killed an Israeli man and injured four others in a shooting near a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem’s Old City.
