Court convicts Palestinian terrorists who murdered Reuven Schmerling

The Lod District Court convicts two residents of the northern West Bank town of Qabatiya of the murder of Rabbi Reuven Schmerling, 70, in October 2017.

Yousef Kamil and Mohammed Abu Alroub stabbed and murdered Schmerling in the Arab Israeli town of Kafr Kassem on October 4. They are also convicted of entering Israel illegally from the West Bank.

The two murdered Schmerling, who owned a coal warehouse where they worked, after deciding among themselves to carry out a terror attack against a Jewish victim.
