The Lod District Court sentences a Palestinian man to life in prison for the murder of Rabbi Shai Ohayon in the central city of Petah Tikva in 2020.
Khalil Abd al-Khaliq Dweikat, from the village of Rujeeb in the northern West Bank, was convicted of stabbing Ohayon to death in a city street.
The indictment against Dweikat said he worked at a construction site in the city and had a valid permit to be in Israel.
“The defendant considered and arrived at a decision to kill a Jewish Israeli citizen or soldier with a knife… for Palestine, the Palestinian people, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Allah,” prosecutors wrote.
