Hebron soldier to be detained on military base

A military court judge rules that the soldier who is facing manslaughter charges for shooting a disarmed Palestinian attacker is to be released to an IDF base, Channel 2 says.

The military prosecutor had been seeking a remand extension for the soldier, who maintains that he acted out of fear that the wounded Palestinian had been carrying a concealed bomb.

Witnesses, however, say that the soldier claimed after shooting that the Palestinian deserved to die.”
