A central court in Lod has sentenced a settler, who was a minor at the time of the offense, to 13 years in prison for his role in the 2018 killing of Aisha Rabi. Rabi, a 47-year-old mother of eight from the town of Bidya, died after the car she was traveling in with her husband was targeted by a stone-throwing attack near the Rehalim settlement. A stone struck the vehicle, causing fatal injuries to Rabi.
The court's decision follows years of legal proceedings in a case that garnered significant judicial and media attention. The settler's identity is being withheld due to legal restrictions concerning minors.
Defense attorneys for the convicted settler have rejected the verdict, asserting their client did not commit the crime and questioning the evidence presented. They announced their intention to appeal the ruling and continue legal proceedings.
The sentencing marks a new phase in the case, with the court affirming the defendant's responsibility while the defense maintains his innocence and plans further legal action. The case remains active pending the outcome of the defense's planned appeals.
