Two Palestinian youths stabbed an Israeli policeman in Jerusalem's Old City on Thursday and were shot by officers, killing one of them, the police said.
Video footage aired on Israeli television and circulating on social media showed two young men approaching a police officer at one of the Old City's walled gates, drawing knives and stabbing him before his colleagues shoot them multiple times.

The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry confirmed one of the two Palestinians had been killed. Police said they were both minors but did not give their exact age.
The second assailant was taken to the hospital, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. The officer was moderately wounded, he said.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that a guard from the Islamic Waqf, which manages the nearby compound, also suffered a gunshot wound and was hospitalized.
Thursday's stabbing took place just days after Muslim worshippers clashed with Israeli police on the Temple Mount.
