Military prosecutors to appeal ‘light’ sentence for Hebron shooting soldier
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMilitary prosecutors are set to appeal the 18-month prison sentence given to the soldier who shot and killed a wounded Palestinian attacker last March in Hebron, Channel 10 reports.
The appeal against Elor Azaria’s conviction is to be filed within three days, according to the report.
Prosecutors say the sentence given to Azaria by the Jaffa Military Court is too light, given his conviction for manslaughter.
The move comes after Azaria’s own attorney, Yoram Sheftel, vowed to appeal both the conviction and the sentence.
