«Israel» Gives 4 Life Sentences to Palestinian Hero

Palestinian hero Omar al-Abed, who undertook an operation in "Halamish" last year, was given four life sentences on Wednesday.

The "Israeli" entity's military court judge Lt. Col. Dov Gilboa, who held the minority opinion, argued al-Abed should be sentenced to death.

Al-Abed was convicted in December of three counts of murder after the July operation, which led to deaths of Yosef Salomon, his daughter Chaya and his son Elad. He was also convicted of the attempted murder of Yosef's wife Tova, incitement and stone-throwing.

Al-Abed received three life sentences for the murders of the "Israelis" and a fourth for his attempted murder of Tova Salomon, who was wounded in the operation. He was also ordered to pay the family NIS 1.8 million in compensations.

The three-judge panel also demanded in their sentencing that the terrorist would not be released in any future prisoner exchange deal.

"Israeli" Judge Gilboa said, "The defendant, from the inception stage and until the criminal massacre, acted as one who wishes to carry out a slaughter... The question arises whether it is enough to sentence him to a punishment that would result in him never again seeing the light of day, or whether the defendant must return his soul to his Maker."

"Throughout the trial, I watched him enjoy himself and smiling, even doing so in front of the family," Gilboa added. "I determine that the defendant's punishment is the death sentence."
