Footage from the scene near Damascus Gate shows Israeli forces shooting at the Palestinian, identified as Mohammed Abu Salameh, at least twice while he was already lying on the ground.
Media reports said Abu Salameh was a 23-year-old from Salfit, in the occupied West Bank.
In the wake of the killing, security forces closed off the entrances to the Old City, while clashes briefly erupted between Palestinians and Israeli police at the scene.
Israeli authorities claimed that Abu Salameh stabbed a 20-year-old Israeli man, who is in “moderate to severe condition,” and then attempted to attack a police officer.
Last week, Israeli police forces killed a Palestinian man, identified as 42-year-old Fadi Abu Shukhaidem from Shuafat neighbourhood, for allegedly shooting dead an Israeli and wounding two others in the Old City.
