Rock throwing killers sentenced to jail
The Jerusalem District Court on Thursday sentenced three Israeli Arabs to prison terms ranging from three to 15 years for the 2015 death of Alexander Levlovich.I don't think it's enough, given that a murder was committed. They need much more time in the cell, and if they're not rehabilitated and discouraged from adherence to Islam, they'll never learn.
Levlovich, 64, was returning to his Jerusalem home on the eve of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, when his car was struck by rocks, causing him to lose control and crash. He died in hospital shortly after the attack. Two other passengers were lightly injured.
Security forces arrested five Israeli Arabs involved in the rock-throwing, two of them minors. All are from the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher.
Last September, the ringleader, identified as Mahmoud Abed Dwayatt, received an 18-year prison sentence as part of a plea bargain, and one of the minors was sentenced to nine years in jail.
On Thursday, the court gave Mohammed Abu Kaf a 15-year sentence; Walid Firas al-Atrash, 13.5 years; and a minor, three years.
