JERUSALEM: A Palestinian man stabbed a police officer with a kitchen knife before he was shot dead in the southern city of Ashkelon in Israel on Tuesday, police said.

Police said an officer began checking a person who was behaving suspiciously when “the attacker pulled out a knife and attacked the officer.”

The officer “responded quickly, fired and neutralized the suspect, whose death was declared on site.” The officer suffered minor injuries, police said.
