A Jerusalem District Court hands down prison sentences to two men in their twenties who were convicted of assaulting a Palestinian in Jerusalem.
Yonatan Holtzman, 26, of Beit Shemesh was sentenced to two years in jail and pay an NIS 10,000 fine and Yishai Ben Abu, 20, of Beitar Illit to five months behind bars.
