Israel sentences Palestinian to life for triple murder

An Israeli military court yesterday handed four life sentences to a Palestinian convicted of murdering three Israelis at a West Bank settlement during heightened tensions in July, the defence minister said.

"The despicable terrorist who murdered the Salomon family members in Neve Tsuf was handed four life sentences," Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said.

“No number of life sentences will suffice to punish this beast."
