i24 reports that On Friday, an Israeli Border Police officer shot and killed a terrorist in the West Bank city of Huwara during a stabbing attack. 

Following the incident, the police distributed a photo of a knife on the ground and one of an officer with what appeared to be a stab wound to his head.

The officer received backlash from the United Nations envoy to the Middle East, who said he was "horrified."

Lapid responded to the criticism, saying the government would "not accept defamation" of its security forces.
