A military court has sentenced 15-year-old terrorist Murad Abdullah Adais to life imprisonment for the brutal stabbing death of Otniel resident Mrs. Dafne Meir HY”D.

The military court made mention of the brutality of the attack and has recommended any future requests for parole for the terrorist be denied due to the heinous nature of the attack. The terrorist was also ordered to pay compensation in the amount of NIS 1.75 million.

Mrs. Meir was stabbed numerous times at the entrance to the family home as some of her horrified children looked on. She used her last ounce of strength to fight and block the terrorist from entering the home so he could not harm her family. The terrorist fled and did not enter the home where a number of the children were present.
