Azaria knowingly violated IDF rules of engagement, court says
The appeals court says St. Sgt. Elor Azaria “did not act according to the rules of engagement, which he knew well” when he shot Palestinian stabber Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in March 2016.
The statement strengthens the impression from the court’s ruling — which is being read at this moment in the military appeals court in IDF Headquarters in Tel Aviv — that it will back the Jaffa Military Court’s manslaughter conviction of Azaria in January.
