A military court in Samaria has sentenced Nad'mi Abu-Bakr to life imprisonment for intentionally causing the death of Sergeant First Class Amit Ben Yigal. The incident occurred on May 12, 2020, during an operational activity in the village of Ya'bad, when Abu-Bakr threw a half-brick weighing between nine and eleven kilograms from a rooftop at IDF soldiers, intending to kill them. The brick struck Sergeant First Class Ben Yigal, causing his death.
Abu-Bakr was also convicted of obstruction of justice. Following the incident, he fled to his home and feigned sleep to evade capture. After security forces left, he returned to the scene, collected brick fragments, and discarded them to hinder the investigation.
The military prosecution stated that it will continue to pursue justice against anyone who harms the security of the state and its soldiers. The IDF expressed its condolences to the bereaved family and pledged continued support.
