TEL AVIV (Reuters) – An Israeli soldier who shot dead an incapacitated Palestinian assailant in the occupied West Bank was sentenced on Tuesday to 18 months in jail.
A military court last month convicted Sergeant Elor Azaria of manslaughter, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years’ imprisonment, over the March 2016 incident in the town of Hebron. Prosecutors had asked for a 3 to 5-year sentence.
