01 · THE DISPATCH

Israel Police released video footage on Wednesday showing the suspect in the morning's attempted stabbing attack in Lod walking with a knife in his hand, directly contradicting family claims that the police account was inaccurate. The footage was published under standard evidence-disclosure procedures.

The video release follows a sequence of reports by The Zioneer since 10:25 Jerusalem, when initial bulletins stated that a suspect had been neutralized by a YASAM officer after attempting a stabbing. By 10:25, police had identified the suspect as an Arab resident of Lod and later confirmed he had a prior record of weapons offenses. Earlier context published at 11:20 Jerusalem described the suspect fleeing on foot before being cornered and shot.

As The Zioneer has reported, the incident occurred near the municipal complex. The suspect was shot and killed by Border Police officers after allegedly trying to stab them during a pursuit. No Israeli forces were injured.

No further details on the investigation have been disclosed.
