Azaria loses final bid to delay sentence, will enter prison tomorrow
A military court rejects the final request by former IDF soldier Elor Azaria to delay his prison term until he receives an answer to a pardon request from IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot.
Azaria was convicted of manslaughter in the March 2016 shooting death of a Palestinian stabber in Hebron.
With the delay request thrown out, Azaria is set to begin his 18-month prison sentence in a military prison tomorrow morning.
