Two Arab terrorists were sentenced today to life imprisonment by the Haifa district court for killing three Israelis during a raid on Nahariya last April. The terrorists entered an apartment building and shot Dan Harran, his infant daughter Einat, and Police Sgt. Eli Shahar. The terrorists surrendered after a battle with Israeli forces during which two other terrorists were killed.
The judges, in handing down the sentence against Samir Quontar, a Lebanese, and Ahmed Abres, a Syrian, said the two intended to kill any Jew who would have gotten in their way and committed horrendous crimes such as the cold-blooded murder of the infant. The sentence, the judges said, could not fully match the brutality of the crime.
