Eyewitnesses told Palestinian news agency Ma'an that the attacker, who was wearing a yellow press vest, was left bleeding on the ground after being shot, as medics treated the wounded soldier.

The footage was captured by Palestinian news site al-Quds, which has been linked to Hamas, leading to unconfirmed reports that the attacker was an employee of the station.

The Foreign Press Association has condemned the attack, calling it a "violation of press privilege".
