Israeli Court Sentences Soldier to 18 Months for Killing Palestinian

A military court has sentenced Israeli soldier Elor Azaria to 18 months in prison for the killing of a wounded Palestinian assailant.
Sergeant Elor Azaria had been convicted of manslaughter in January in a case that shook Israel.
Charged with shooting dead a Palestinian assailant who was lying on the ground with injuries, Azaria has now been sentenced to 18 months in prison although the maximum sentence in a similar case could carry up to 20 years.
Prosecutors had asked that Azaria be sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison.
