A military tribunal in Gaza today sentenced a 22-year-old terrorist to 50 years imprisonment at hard labor. Abdallah Suleiman Abu Nakara was charged with the murder of three local Arabs working in Israel, and for possession of firearms and ammunition. The mother of one of the murdered Arabs said she pleaded with Nakara not to kill her son, saying “Better kill me.” She told the court that despite her pleas, the terrorist, known as “the merciless” murdered her son. The court stressed that this merciless terrorist cannot claim mercy.
