An Israeli military court Monday passed five life sentences against Hassaan Abu Leil, an affiliate with the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades the military wing of the Fatah Movement. Legal sources said that the court found Hassaan "guilty" of shooting at an Israeli army base in the Jordan Valley in April 2003 that killed two soldiers and wounded eight others. The same court also passed a 40-year-term against Kayed Kalboni, another Fatah activist, for "involvement" in two commando raids in Tulkarm and near Qalqilia. Both armed attacks led to the injury of four Israeli soldiers. |
