This video of an Israeli security feed shows a Palestinian man attempting to kill an IDF soldier with a knife. After a brief fight, the Palestinian is shot and killed. Viewer discretion is advised.

The IDF soldier is to the right, near the counter. The Palestinian attacker enters from the door on the left, in what appears to be a black tracksuit. He jumps the soldier at 0:09, and a fight ensues. A civilian in a striped shirt tackles and attempts to take the knife from the attacker as the IDF backs off, drawing his pistol. He appears to have been injured or is otherwise having trouble manipulating the gun, but manages to shoot his attacker at 0:24 before backing out of the building. The identities of both parties have not been disclosed, nor their dispositions after the incident. However, the epaulettes and sidearm suggests that the IDF member was an officer of some sort, which may have been what prompted the attack.
