the Palestinian assailant ran through the ancient port city

Israel said Thursday it is looking into the shooting death of a Palestinian attacker who killed an
American student in a stabbing spree earlier this week. In Tuesday's attack, the Palestinian assailant ran through the ancient port city of Jaffa with a knife, stabbing several people along his way, until he was shot by a police officer.

Israeli soldiers check Palestinians at a checkpoint on the road to the village of Hajja near the West Bank city of Nablus, Wednesday, March 9, 2016. Israeli army imposed the blockade after a Palestinian from the village killed an American tourist and wounded nearly a dozen people in the city of Jaffa on Tuesday.

Israel's Justice Ministry said the routine check is conducted after every shooting incident by police. It follows a video that emerged from the scene of the Jaffa stabbing, showing the attacker lying on the ground as an onlooker yells at the officer to shoot him "in the head." A sound that appears to be gunfire is heard. Other voices then tell the officer to stop, saying the attacker "is lying down" and "don't shoot him again."
