We struggled with whether or not to post this security camera footage of Tzvika Cohen, a 48-year-old father of four, being brutally and mercilessly butchered by an ax-wielding Palestinian terrorist.

The attack occurred last Thursday at the shopping mall in the Jerusalem suburb of Ma’aleh Adumim, where Cohen worked as a security guard.

Cohen remains on life support after suffering severe injuries to his head and upper body.

The terrorist, 20-year-old Saadi Ali Abu Ahmad, was apprehended by security forces.

It was later revealed that Abu Ahmad worked at the mall, and exploited his access to carry out this horrific attack against an unarmed man.

While difficult to watch, the video shows the level of brutality present in Palestinian society, and with which Israel must contend on a daily basis.
