Palestinian given four life sentences for deadly 2018 shooting attacks
A Palestinian man convicted of murder in a pair of December 2018 terror attacks is sentenced by the Ofer Military Court to four life sentences.
Asem Barghouti was convicted in November for his role in a shooting attack on a bus stop near the Givat Assaf outpost that left two soldiers dead and another attack near the Ofra settlement that led to the death of a yet-unborn baby. Several others were injured in both attacks.
Barghouti was arrested in January 2019 following a nearly month-long manhunt, while his brother Salih was killed by Israeli troops during an attempted arrest in December 2018.
