Surveillance video captures knife attack on Israeli soldiers

A surveillance video has been released showing the moment two Israeli soldiers were attacked with a knife at a mall in the northern Israeli city of Karmiel.

The video captures a man in a blue shirt and baseball hat lunging at the two Israeli soldiers. He jabs a knife repeatedly into both men's necks. One of the Israeli soldiers then raises his weapon and appears to shoot at the attacker.

The Israeli army said one soldier, identified as Alexander Yakiminski, died from the attack and the other was injured.
