Hebron shooter requests delay of prison sentence
The former IDF soldier convicted of manslaughter for killing a Palestinian assailant files a request to the Military Court of Appeals asking to delay the beginning of his prison sentence until the IDF chief of staff responds to his request for leniency.
Elor Azaria last week asked IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot to commute his 18-month sentence, which he is scheduled to begin on August 9.
In January, Azaria was convicted of manslaughter for shooting dead an incapacitated Palestinian assailant after an attempted attack on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank city of Hebron in 2016.
