An IDF military court in the West Bank on Monday sentenced four Palestinians for the murder of an Israeli policeman three years ago.

Three of the men received life imprisonment, plus an additional 20-60 years, and a fourth man, who was an accomplice to the crime, received 25 years in jail, according to Ynet.

The four were members of a terrorist cell, which in 2010 opened fire at a police vehicle near Hebron. Officer Yehoshua Sofer was killed and three other policemen were injured in the incident.
