An Israeli military court has handed three life
sentences to a Palestinian convicted of organising
the kidnapping and
murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Hussam Hassan Kawasme was also ordered on Tuesday to pay $63,000 in compensation to each of the three families.
Kawasme was arrested in connection with organising and financing the
June 12 kidnapping of the three teenagers that triggered a series of
events which led to a deadly 50-day war in Gaza. The bodies of the three
Israelis were found three weeks later.
"The accused was convicted of the most serious crimes .. the
cold-blooded and terrible murder of three young people who were going
home to their families," court documents said.
"As a result of his actions, the accused is sentenced to three life
terms. He will be removed from society and spend the rest of his life in
prison. In addition he will pay compensation of 250,000 shekels to each
of the families of the youths."
His two accomplices, Amer Abu Eisha, 32, and Marwan Kawasme, 29, who
carried out the attack, were both shot dead during an exchange of fire
with the Israeli army in the southern West Bank city of Hebron in late
September.
Israel blamed the bloodshed on Hamas, but although the group hailed the attack, it said the three were operating independently.
The abduction of the Jewish seminary students - Eyal Yifrach, 19, and
16-year-olds Gilad Shaer and Naftali Fraenkel - from a hitch-hiking
stop near Hebron sparked a massive manhunt in which hundreds of
Palestinians were arrested and at least five killed.
The operation triggered a surge in rocket fire from Gaza that
ultimately led to a July-August war which left nearly 2,200 Palestinians
dead, most of them civilians, and 73 dead in Israel, mostly soldiers.
