Israeli security forces shot dead two Palestinians who had wounded three people in a stabbing spree along a popular walkway in Jerusalem.

It was the latest attack in the wave of violence that's hit Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank since October. 

The melee ended with security forces shooting and killing the attackers.

But not before three Israelis were wounded.

Police said one of the Israelis may have been wounded by police gunfire.
