Palestinian teen jailed for life for murdering Israeli woman

An IDF court sentences a Palestinian teen to life on jail for the January 2016 murder of an Israeli mother of six.

Morad Bader Abdullah Adais, who was 16 when he stabbed Dafna Meir to death in front of her children at their home in the settlement of Otniel, is also ordered to pay NIS 750,000 in compensation, the Walla news website reports.

The court says life in jail is an appropriate punishment for what it calls an act of unusual cruelty carried out in cold blood, and recommends that the authorities prevent Adais’s early release in the future.
