Prosecutor: Soldier said Palestinian attacker ‘deserved to die’

The military prosecutor tells a court hearing that the soldier who shot a disarmed Palestinian attacker in Hebron last week said after shooting the man that “the attacker lived, and he needed to die.”

A soldier who was present at the incident confirms to the court that the infantryman had made the comments seconds after he shot the Palestinian in the head, Channel 10 reports.

Another soldier tells the court that the accused man said after the shooting: “The attacker stabbed my friend and deserved to die.”
