IDF Sgt. Elor Azariya is on trial in the Yafeh Military Court, facing charges of manslaughter for shooting and killing a wounded Arab terrorist in Hebron on Purim. His family has incurred significant legal expenses in providing adequate defense for their son, turning to the tzibur via an NGO committed to defending IDF soldiers, setting a goal of NIS 400,000.
As of Monday morning 5 Tammuz, the goal was surpassed, showing 112% was raised, NIS 449,399 in twelve hours.
In fact, the authorization for the establishment of the NGO came this week, and Elor was the first client so to speak. Organizers explain there is no mechanism in place to assist soldiers like Elor, who is now in the midst of a major legal battle without any financial assistance. The NGO hopes it will be able to cover legal expenses of all soldiers who may find themselves in a legal battle during their service.

it wont help the Zionists already convicted him before this is a charade to make it look like “justice” was served.
Please – Let’s all pray that the verdict will be – not guilty.
None of us would ever want to be in the danger that he was in.
