3 life terms for terrorist who killed father, son in West Bank

A Palestinian terrorist who shot dead an Israeli rabbi and his teenage son in the West Bank in November is sentenced to three life sentences by an IDF military court.

Two life sentences are handed down for the murders of Rabbi Ya’akov Litman, 40, and his 18-year-old son Netanel. The third life sentence is given for the attempted murder of the other five family members in the car at the time of the attack.

The attack happened when the family car came under fire as they drove to an event to celebrate another daughter’s upcoming wedding.
