Palestinian gets 30 years for murder attempts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli court sentences an East Jerusalem Palestinian to 30 years in prison for 10 counts of attempted murder, court documents show.
Aziz Oweissat, 50, is found guilty of attempts including an axe attack on a 73-year-old ultra-Orthodox Jewish man near Jerusalem’s Old City and the detaching of gas pipes at several homes in the city with the aim of blowing up their Israeli occupants.
During his trial, Oweissat said the attacks were carried out in revenge for the actions of Israeli authorities at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, a site holy to both Muslims and Jews.
