Police publish footage showing an attempted stabbing attack earlier today near the West Bank town of al-Eizariya.

In the clip, the Palestinian assailant can be seen approaching Border Police officers who sought to question him, before pulling a knife and trying to stab them.

The officers then open fire at the suspect, who tries to flee before collapsing. He was pronounced dead a short while later.

Police identify the assailant as a 14-year-old resident of East Jerusalem.
