Nablus - Wafa
An Israeli military court Tuesday sentenced Hakim Awad, 18, from the village of Awarta, near Nablus, to five life terms after he was found guilty of killing five members of a Jewish family in the settlement of Itamar earlier this year. Hakim's accomplice in the attack, Amjad Awad, 19, is expected to receive a similar sentence in October. Both had confessed to their act soon after they were arrested.
