Adi Mizrahi was sentenced Tuesday to 16 years in prison for the murder of a man in a road rage incident in Holon in 2022.
Mizrahi stabbed Yuri Volkov to death after a brief confrontation over an illegal maneuver Mizrahi carried out with his moped, endangering pedestrians crossing the road.
Mizrahi was sentenced as part of a plea deal with prosecutors. One judge in the panel of three who issued the ruling called for a 20-year sentence for Mizrahi, believing 16 years to be too light.
Prosecutors have said they came to the plea deal due to difficulties with the evidence against Mizrahi.
