Shopping mall in Karmiel Israel.
Palestinian armed with knife from West Bank ambushes two IDF armed with rifles while they walk in a shopping mall. One soldier died from his wounds and the Palestinian was shot to death while fleeing.
I believe if the Palestinian had kept pressing his attack instead of fleeing he had a good chance of killing both of them and escaping unharmed.
I put this in the this forum instead of the political one because it is such a clear video of how a knife attack goes. For several years I trained with a self-defense group that emphasized knife defense. Once someone is hands-on distance it is really really hard to defend against the knife.
Do go to X and play the video.
ETA: To their credit the soldiers fight thru their wounds to get their weapons up and return fire, but only after the attacker breaks off.
