Hebron soldier’s lawyer: He thought children were approaching
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe lawyer for the soldier charged with manslaughter for killing a disarmed Palestinian attacker in Hebron last month tells Jaffa Military Court that the defendant believed children were approaching for a Purim parade when he opened fire.
“There was a large information gap between the soldier and extensively experienced officers who had all the information,” the lawyer says, according to Walla. “He thought that the ‘adloyada’ [Purim parade] would soon be starting and the children of Hebron would enter the arena. He did not have all the information in front of him.”
