Muslim convicted for murdering rabbi at Ariel
A court in Lod's convicted a Muslim who stabbed a rabbi to death at the Ariel junction:
The Lod District Court on Wednesday convicted Abed al-Karim Assi, an Arab Israeli man, for the murder of Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal at the Ariel Junction in the West Bank last year.The most damning sentence that should be given to the monster would be to lethally inject him, or put him in front of a firing squad. The case must still be made for giving jihadists the worst punishment of all.
On February 5, 2018, Assi, who was 19 at the time, stabbed Ben-Gal, 29, at a bus stop outside Ariel. Assi then fled the scene, leading security forces on a month-long manhunt that ended with his arrest in the Palestinian city of Nablus.
Attorney Haim Bleicher, from the right-wing Honenu legal aid organization representing the Ben-Gal family, said he will ask for the maximum possible sentence.
“The cursed terrorist who tried to harm the basic right of the Jews to exist in our land doesn’t deserve to see the light of day any more,” Bleicher said in a statement Thursday.
