The terrorist who killed a US teenager, an Israeli man, and a Palestinian man at the Etzion Junction in the West Bank in November 2015 receives four life sentences in prison, the Ynet news website reports.
Mohammed Abdel Basset al-Kharoub, who shot dead Ezra Schwartz, 18, Yaakov Don, 51, and Shadi Arafa, 24, is sentenced by the Ofer military court, the report says.
