Father of stabber killed by Azaria says sentence a ‘farce’
The father of Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, the Palestinian who was killed by Azaria after attempting to stab soldiers in Hebron, says the sentence is a “farce.”
“A year and a half is a farce,” Yusri al-Sharif tells journalists at the family home near Hebron.
“What does a year and a half mean? Was he an animal to be killed like this, in this barbaric way?”
During the sentencing, Palestinians protest in the family’s home. Some step on a large poster of Azaria.
