Ynetnews reports: The soldier who shot and killed a neutralized terrorist in Hebron three weeks ago will be charged with manslaughter, as per an official prosecutor’s statement issued to the military court in Jaffa on Thursday.
A group of ten people, equipped with a sound system, demonstrated outside the courtroom in support of soldier. “Whoever kills terrorists is an Israeli hero,” they shouted.
The soldier’s attorney, Eyal Baserglick, said during the court session that there was no cause for keeping the soldier under detention.
“The court ruled unambiguously that the investigative evidence shows another investigative way of examining the defendant’s actions, and the defense’s video shows this with a string of many testimonies.
