Ha’aretz reports that the Prime Minister’s Office in Israel recently posted three videos to YouTube showing images from the terror attack earlier this month at Jerusalem’s Mercaz HaRav yeshiva:

The three videos were posted under the titles “Stop the Terror, Stop the Bloodshed,” “Act NOW: Stop The Bloodshed – Stop the Terror,” and “Emergency call, March 7, Jerusalem.”
