Palestinian convicted for killing Israeli soldier Ronen Lubarsky
The Judea Military Court finds a Palestinian man guilty of killing an Israeli soldier during an operation in the West Bank last year.
Yousef Abu Hamid is convicted of “intentionally causing death” — the military equivalent of murder.
Hamid killed Staff Sgt. Ronen Lubarsky, a member of the elite Duvdevan unit, by dropping a marble slab on the top of his head from a neighboring home during an IDF raid last May at the al-Am’ari refugee camp in Ramallah.
The Israeli military says sentencing for Hamid will be forthcoming, but does not give a specific date.
