An IDF military court on Monday, 2 Tammuz addressed sentencing for the 16-year-old terrorist from Jenin who murdered IDF soldier Edan Atias. The 19-year-old soldier was brutally stabbed repeatedly while on a bus in the Afula Bus Station about six months ago.
His mother, Elya Atias presented a letter to the court, asking the military judges not to show the murderer any mercy.
The prosecution is seeking life imprisonment while the defense attorney is asking for leniency due to the murderer’s young age. A sentencing hearing date has been set.

seriously, be lenient because the murderer was young? and this doesn’t stop him from doing it again?
She is right no mercy who cares how old the terrorist is. No mercy they deserve no mercy. They should not have any rights.
That it! Israel wake up these are not people of negotiation we are dealing with demons

Wow! That is all the more reason to come down harder on him- he has too many years to still live and kill more innocent Israelis when he is released…. Life imprisonment with no options of ever getting out, or better, death.
Life ….
Eye for an eye. 👀
The “defense lawyer” should be thrown into jail or worse.
Wait till this “defense lawyers ” own kid gets killed by one of them. Then go defend the murder of his own son!
