In addition, the defendant was convicted of obstruction of justice. On May 11, 2026, the Military Court accepted the position of the Military Prosecution after hearing the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses and the terrorist, and convicted him of throwing a half-brick weighing nine to eleven kilograms from the roof of a building towards IDF soldiers on May 12, 2020, during an operational activity of security forces in the village of Ya’bad to arrest wanted individuals, with the intention of causing their death. The brick thrown by the terrorist hit Sergeant First Class Amit Ben Yigal, may he rest in peace, and caused his death. Subsequently, the terrorist fled from the roof to his home and feigned sleep in order to thwart the security forces in locating him. After the forces left the scene, he returned to the area, collected pieces of brick from the impact site, and threw them to the side of the path, with the intention of disrupting the investigation. The Military Court sentenced the terrorist to life imprisonment and a financial compensation of over 4 million shekels. The Military Prosecution will continue to act to exhaust the legal proceedings against anyone who harms the security of the state and the security of the state’s citizens serving in the IDF. The IDF shares in the deep sorrow of the bereaved family and will continue to accompany them.
