Three Israelis were sentenced to 13 years in prison for driving a suicide bomber and his accomplice to a Netanya mall, where they killed five people. Tel Aviv District Court on Thursday sentenced Kfir Levy, 26, of Ramat Gan; Sif Azam, 35, of Taiba; and Abed Abu Moch, 30, of Baka al-Gharbiya. The three had been convicted in March of charges including second-degree murder. Judge Oded Mudrik ruled that Moch had been aware of the terrorists’ intent, and that the other two ignored their suspicions of the Palestinians, who gave them approximately $200 for the ride.
