Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMilitary prosecutors are seeking a jail sentence of 3-5 years for Elor Azaria, the IDF soldier convicted of manslaughter for shooting dead an incapacitated Palestinian attacker in Hebron in March last year.
According to Channel 2, prosecution lawyers have held “intense” discussions on the length of Azaria’s sentence. The report says military prosecutors apparently favor a three-year jail term.
The sentence is expected to be announced on Tuesday. Azaria was found guilty earlier this month.
