Shocking footage shows the moment a knife-wielding 'terrorist' (circled) was shot dead by an Israeli soldier after three people were wounded by the attacker in the streets of Jerusalem.
A Palestinian attacker has been shot dead after stabbing an Israeli in the West Bank just hours after a knife-wielding 'terrorist' went on the rampage.
Dramatic footage has emerged showing a 21-year-old man walking towards a soldier before he falls to the ground amid gun fire.
The shooting in Jerusalem came after police said three people were 'lightly wounded' by the attacker.
In a separate confrontation just hours later, officers said a Palestinian man stabbed and critically wounded an Israeli in the West Bank city of Hebron before being shot dead by security forces.

'The terrorist, apparently a 21-year-old resident of east Jerusalem, was killed by the gunfire,' the statement said.
Emergency services evacuated two of the injured to hospital for treatment. The third did not require medical attention.
In the Hebron attack, paramilitary border police fatally shot the assailant after he stabbed an Israeli man several times in the upper body, a police spokeswoman said.
The wounded man was taken to hospital in Jerusalem in critical condition, medical officials said.
The attacks are the latest in more than two months of 'lone wolf' assaults by Palestinians challenging Israel's control over the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Israel says the current spate of violence is due to incitement by Palestinian leaders over the Jerusalem holy site as well as videos encouraging violence spread on social media.
Palestinians are frustrated by the failure of decades of peace talks and the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and many have also lost faith in their political leadership.
