Hamas terrorist cell commander Ahmad al-Atzafra was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison plus 25 years, in connection with the stabbing murder of IDF Cpl. Dvir Sorek on August 8, 2019.
The Judea Military Court also ordered him to pay NIS 1.5 million to Sorek’s family.
The IDF prosecution filed an indictment in October 2019 against al-Atzafra and four other Palestinians in connection with the murder.
The others, all of whom are affiliated with Hamas, according to the indictment, are: Qasem al-Atzafra, Nazir al-Atzafra, Yusef Zahur and Mahmoud Atuna.
The fatal attack against Sorek was committed near Migdal Oz.
