A military court sentences two Hebron brothers to life in prison for a series of sniper attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers in the West Bank, the army says.
From November 2015 to January 2016, Nasser and Akram Badawi committed a number of shooting attacks, injuring two civilians and two IDF soldiers.
They were arrested by the Shin Bet security service in January 2016 and convicted of 12 counts of attempted murder, as well as other security violations.
In addition to their life sentences, the Badawi brothers are to pay a total of NIS 60,000 ($17,000) to their victims, the army says.
“The IDF will continues to work to provide security to Judea and Samaria and will bring terrorist operatives to justice,” the military says in a statement, using the biblical term for the West Bank.
