Two settlers were killed and at least 130 people were injured Sunday, five of them seriously, when the bleachers collapsed inside a synagogue in the Givat Ze'ev settlement near Occupied Jerusalem, according to Israeli Occupation ambulance services.

Hundreds of settlers had gathered to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Shavuot in this synagogue when the bleachers collapsed under their feet.

A spokesman for the ambulance services said the facility was "under construction."
