Convicted Killer of Muhammad Abu Khdeir Dies at 42
Yosef Haim Ben David, who was convicted of the 2014 murder of teenager Muhammad Abu Khdeir, died Thursday at the age of 42. He had been transferred from prison to a hospital due to a cardiac issue.
Ben David was sentenced to life imprisonment plus an additional 20 years for the crime. The murder also saw two minors convicted, including Ben David's nephew, who received life sentences and 21 years respectively.
The murder of Abu Khdeir, a 16-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem, sparked widespread protests and unrest. Ben David was identified as the ringleader of the group responsible for the brutal act, which involved the abduction and burning of the teenager.
