The Jerusalem District Court sentences a man to 18 months behind bars for setting on fire a hostage families protest tent in Jerusalem in December.
According to Hebrew media, Noah Yohanan has been convicted of arson following his confession to torching the tent near the Prime Minister’s Office, which also represented families of victims of the war. He objected to slogans against the government’s and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war policies.
He has also been handed a suspended sentence and ordered to compensate those he harmed.
