Judge says Azaria violated army rules of engagement, values

Judges Maya Heller notes that Azaria operated unprofessionally during the incident and talks about the general chaos of the day. She says Azaria violated the army’s value of “purity of the weapon,” and rules of engagement and army’s values.

Violating the value of “purity of the weapon” hurts Israel’s position in the world and its security, she says

It’s not clear whether the judge has ruled in favor of a prison sentence or not. If the reading of the verdict is anything to go by, she could be talking about the case for a while to come.
