Jerusalem, 24 September, 2019 (TPS) -- The military court in Judea on Monday sentenced the terrorist Faiz Hamed to life in prison for the murder of Malachi Rosenfeld in June 2015.
Hamed was convicted of several offenses, including intentionally causing death, the equivalent to the murder in Israeli law, and attempts to commit this offense on other occasions.
He was also ordered to compensate Rosenfeld’s family.
The verdict states that the terrorist was an active member in a terror cell that planned to carry out attacks against Israelis. As part of the squad’s operations, its members carried out a number of shooting attacks.
On June 29, 2015, two of the squad members traveled in a vehicle purchased in advance for the attack and fired at a vehicle in which Malachi Rosenfeld, a 25-year-old resident of Kochav Hashahar in the Jerusalem area, was traveling in. He was fatally wounded and died from his wounds in the hospital. Three others were also injured in the attack .the four had been returning from a basketball game.
On another occasion, the cell fired at an Israeli vehicle and ambulance.
The Shin Bet named a total of seven members of the Hamas terror cell who were involved in the various phases of the planning, execution and concealing of the terror attacks.
An investigation into the attack revealed that the weapon used to murder Rosenfeld was paid for by a terrorist released from prison who used the monthly stipend he received from the Palestinian Authority (PA) to purchase it.
