Azaria’s account of shooting untrustworthy, judges find

As the ruling is read in the Azaria appeal, it is becoming clear the judges do not believe Elor Azaria’s version of the events surrounding his killing of Palestinian assailant Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in March 2016.

“The appellant offered different versions that changed and developed throughout the trial,” the judges note. Earlier in the ruling, they explicitly find that he lied about some aspects of his account.
