- Story Text:Israelis gathered outside a Tel Aviv military base on Sunday (July 30) to show support for a soldier who shot dead a wounded Palestinian assailant in the West Bank, shortly before a military court was expected to rule on appeals in his case.
The soldier, Elor Azaria, was convicted of manslaughter in February and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment for killing a wounded and incapacitated Palestinian assailant in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Azaria was discharged from the military this month, the end of his conscript service, and was placed under house arrest. He arrived in court on Sunday wearing a white T-shirt.
Azaria's trial was one of the most divisive in Israel's history. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
