| [PRESSTV] An Israeli court has sentenced three Paleostinians to life in prison over a gun attack that left four people dead at a popular Tel Aviv nightspot last year. The Tel Aviv district court on Wednesday sentenced cousins Mohammad Makhamrah and Khaled Makhamrah and accomplice Younes Zein each to four consecutive life sentences, one for each death. An additional 60 years were handed down for the 41 counts of attempted murder. The court said that Zein supplied the weapons to Makhamrah cousins and helped plan the assault. According to the sentence, the three were also ordered by the court to pay compensation to the families of the dear departed and maimed. The court said three people were rubbed out, while a fourth died of a heart attack during the shooting spree. Four people were seriously maimed, while another 37 suffered lighter injuries or shock. Meanwhile, ...back at the wine tasting, Vince was about to start on his third quart... Khaled Mahajneh, a lawyer with the Paleostinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS), said an Israeli settler who was present at the court attempted to assault the three prisoners with a sharp instrument. Last month, the trio were found guilty over the June 2016 attack at Sarona Market, a restaurant and shopping complex. Initial reports at the time said that the attackers were dressed as ultra-Orthodox Jews, but the police later claimed that they were of Paleostinian origin. |
