JERUSALEM: An Israeli military court Monday sentenced a Palestinian to life imprisonment for a 2015 shooting in the occupied West Bank that killed an Israeli and wounded three others, the army said.

Fayiz Hamed was found guilty of voluntary homicide and attempted murders.

The four Israelis were in a car when they came under fire at a crossroads near the settlement of Shvut Rachel on June 29, 2015, the army said in a statement.

The military accused the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, of carrying out the gun attack.

Hamas praised the attack without claiming responsibility. — AFP
