Minecraft – Blaze Melee Attacks

minecraft-java-edition

I summoned a blaze with its speed, health and attack attributes enhanced, and while fighting it (multiple times) I noticed that sometimes it could run up to me and insta-kill me (it didn't have the fire around it, so it wasn't a fireball). I'm thinking it has something to do with the enhanced speed / attack, but can a normal blaze melee attack?

This link says that Blazes have two attacks: Fireball (3/5/7 damage for easy/normal/hard difficulty level) and Contact (Melee attack, 4/6/9 damage for according difficulty levels)

Note: All damage is counted in half-hearts
