WATCH: Dashcam Captures Attempted Palestinian Stabbing Attack

The Times of Israel reports: Video released Tuesday evening captures the moment a Palestinian woman attempted to stab Israeli soldiers at a bus stop near the West Bank settlement of Ariel earlier in the day.

The dashcam footage recorded by a driver passing shows a young woman in a hijab approach the soldiers with a knife behind her back. As she raises the blade above her head, the soldiers back away with their weapons drawn.

The woman continues to walk towards them with the knife drawn for several meters before she is shot in the abdomen by the soldiers.

While grainy footage of attacks are often caught on security cameras, the video captured Tuesday is unique in both being clearly visible and seemingly showing the attack from beginning to end.
