Video distributed by Israeli police shows a Palestinian stabbing two Israelis in Jerusalem on Friday, May 31, wounding one of them critically, before being shot dead by police.

The attack occurred on the last Friday of the Ramadan holiday, when thousands of Muslim worshippers were expected to come to a holy site in Jerusalem's old city and police had deployed extra units to the area.

One Israeli was critically injured in the stabbing attack and a second sustained moderate wounds, police said in a statement. (Reuters)
