Hebron shooter Elor Azaria hospitalized after fainting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleElor Azaria, the Israeli soldier convicted in the shooting death of a disarmed and wounded Palestinian assailant last year, is hospitalized after fainting at the Nachshonim army base where he is being held.
Azaria was taken to the base’s medical center for routine tests, but doctors decided to transfer him to a larger medical facility for further treatment as a precaution.
Family spokesman and former lawmaker Sharon Gal said Azaria fainted due to the stress of the upcoming appeal in his manslaughter conviction for shooting dead a Palestinian assailant who had minutes earlier stabbed an IDF soldier in the West Bank city of Hebron on March 24, 2016, and was lying on the ground disarmed and injured.
