Stabber of 11 on Tel Aviv bus gets 28 years
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian resident of Tulkarem who stabbed 11 people on a bus in Tel Aviv in January was sentenced today to 28 years in prison.
Judge Yaron Levi, of the Tel Aviv District court, wrote in his verdict that he could not ignore the fact Hamza Matrouk expressed no regret for his actions and showed no empathy for the victims.
Levi noted that he took into account Hamza’s age, clean police record, immediate confession and the fact that he was acting as a lone wolf and not as part of an organization as other factors in his decision on the verdict.
