The Central District Court in Lod sentenced a man on Wednesday to 13 years in prison for killing Palestinian mother Aysha Rabi in a Jewish-nationalist terror attack in 2018, concluding the trial stage of an unusually long and closely contested case.
The court also ordered the defendant to pay Rabi’s family NIS 258,000, the maximum compensation available under the law, and imposed an additional suspended prison term.
The defendant, whose identity remains barred from publication because he was a minor at the time, was 15 years and 10 months old when he carried out the attack.
This is a developing story.
