Tel Aviv - Arab Today
An Israeli military court has announced an 18 month sentence against Hebron shooter, Elor Azaria, who was convicted of ‘manslaughter’, after he shot and killed a wounded Palestinian youth in Hebron, march of 2016.
Last month, Azaria was convicted of manslaughter, despite the fact that he shot in the head a helpless wounded man, Abdul-Fattah Al-Sharif, 20, who posed no threat on his life.
Al-Sharif’s cousin was also killed in the incident, under the pretext of a stabbing attempt.
Prosecutors have asked that Azaria be sentenced on Tuesday to 3-5 years in prison. His defense attorneys insisted he should be freed.
Many Israeli leaders and people have shown support for the soldier, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and prominent hard-line politicians have called for the soldier to be pardoned.
Dozens of Azaria’s supporters gathered outside the court ahead of the sentencing.
The family of the Palestinian martyr, Abdul-Fattah Al-Sharif, were photographed today waiting for the verdict to appear on TV.
