A military court will convene on Tuesday afternoon 26 Teves for the sentencing hearing of IDF Sgt. Elor Azariya, who was found guilty of manslaughter. The case dealt with Azariya firing at close range at a wounded Arab terrorist in Hebron on Purim, a terrorist who a short time earlier stabbed and wounded a soldier.
It is reported the prosecutor will see a 3-to-5-year jail term for the soldier. A number of character witnesses will be testifying on behalf of Elor, including his mother. An appeal by the defense is expected.

They should let him free, he prevented a possible attack on IDF soldiers, as the terrorist was not sufficiently disarmed.
I have seen video o YWN where a terrorist in a car was supposedly dead, but he stood up several times, and continued to assault people!
Free the soldier, the valiant soldier!
Will be time for civil riots, and for entire army to go on strike.
Netanyahu should go to jail for this disgrace
Why is everything Netanyahu’s fault. It is a court matter!

The Israelis need to have their heads examined! They so much want to show the world how fair they are. They look ridiculous and they are tying the hands of their soldiers. They’ll be afraid to shoot those @#$#$ arabs for fear they go to jail! Shame on them!
