A military court in Samaria has sentenced Nad'mi Abu-Bakr to life imprisonment for intentionally causing the death of Staff Sergeant First Class Amit Ben Yigal. The court also convicted him of obstructing justice. The incident occurred on May 12, 2020, when Israeli security forces were operating in the village of Ya'bad to arrest wanted individuals. Abu-Bakr climbed onto the roof of a building and threw a half-brick, weighing between nine and eleven kilograms, directly at the soldiers with the intent to kill. The brick struck Ben Yigal, killing him instantly. Following the attack, Abu-Bakr fled to his home and feigned sleep to evade capture. After the forces left, he returned to the scene and collected the brick fragments to hinder the investigation. After a lengthy legal process and considering the military prosecution's arguments, the court imposed a life sentence and ordered Abu-Bakr to pay approximately 4 million shekels in compensation to the victim's family. The IDF stated that the military prosecution will continue to pursue justice against anyone harming soldiers or state security, and that the IDF remains supportive of the bereaved family.
