On Saturday morning, a terrorist attempted to stab a police officer in Jerusalem's IDF Square (also known as Tzahal Square). He was shot and killed, and no other people were harmed.
Police saw the man in the square, and he raised their suspicions. They approached him, while keeping a safe distance. He then pulled out a knife and tried to stab one of them. The police officers quickly responded, shooting and killing him.
