Father of Hebron soldier cries in court: It’s a frame-up
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe father of Elior Azaria, the IDF soldier on trial for manslaughter for shooting dead a disarmed Palestinian attacker in Hebron in March, bursts into tears during his son’s trial in Jaffa Military Court, and accuses the army’s judicial authorities of corruption and of setting up his son.
“Were these officers even in Hebron?” Charlie Azaria demands, according to Ynet. “They received orders from above. They are framing him. Someone is pulling the strings.”
He also says that officials are “trying with all their might to convict my son,” Channel 2 reports.
Azaria’s aunt also blamed the IDF for her nephew’s predicament, saying it was the army that “gave him a weapon and instructed him.”
