The Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) justified its rejection of a petition filed to re-examine a plea bargain in a military court, by an Israeli soldier given three months of community service for the wrongful shooting of two Palestinians, one of whom died, saying that there was no justification for the court to intervene in the case. According to the indictment, Alaa Raida, 38, was shot in the stomach by an Israeli soldier who incorrectly believed him to be throwing stones, seriously wounding him. Ahmad Manasrah, 23, arrived on the scene with several friends and attempted to help Raida before being shot and killed by the same soldier.“There’s no doubt that this is a difficult event, whose consequences were tragic. Nor does anyone dispute that in retrospect this turned out to not be a terror incident,” Justice Menachem Mazuz writes in the court’s ruling.” To check the news, click here
