Officer who beat Palestinians: This is small victory
None
Lt. Adam Malul, convicted of beating Palestinians, said upon leaving his trial, "I feel today is a small victory after a difficult year. The judges understood I had no intention of hurting innocent people, but was acting with the objective of achieving an operational goal."
The court decided to maintain Malul's military rank and not to send him to another prison term. Malul added, "Even though there are still some disagreements along the way, the most important thing is that the judges noted that I did not do what I did for the sake of violence." (Hanan Greenberg)
