The PA (Palestinian Authority) is back in the International Court of Justice in The Hague against Israel, this time in reference to the stabbing attack in Hebron on Purim.
After pathologists determined the wounded terrorist who stabbed a soldier was killed by the soldier on trial, it decided to once again take the case to the international forum as it continues efforts to chip away at Israel’s standing in the international community.
The soldier remains in open custody, on his base, and prohibited from speaking to anyone about the case. The military prosecutor plans to file manslaughter charges against him for shooting at the wounded terrorist when there was no imminent danger.
The soldier’s defense attorney maintains there was a danger as there was a visible bulge from under the wounded terrorist’s garment which the soldier feared might be a bomb vest.
