    An Israeli military court is expected to rule on Sunday (July 30) on the appeal of Elor Azaria, an Israeli soldier who shot dead a Palestinian assailant when he was lying wounded on the ground.
    Sergeant Elor Azaria, a conscript infantry medic, was captured on video firing once into the head of the Palestinian after the man had been shot by other soldiers while taking part in a stabbing attack on March 24, 2016.
    Azaria, now 20, was initially held on a murder warrant. In January 2017 he was found guilty of manslaughter and in February was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, far less than prosecutors requested, in what became one of the most divisive cases in Israel's history.
