Prosecution seeks 15 year sentence for 17-year-old Palestinian terrorist

The Jerusalem District Attorney has asked that the court sentence a 17-year-old girl to 15 years in prison for carrying out the Jerusalem "scissors" terrorist attack in 2015.

The girl, originally from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Kafr Aqab, agreed to a plea bargain of attempted murder, but both parties did not agree on a punishment.

Her lawyer asked for leniency, citing that she did not carry out the stabbing, and because she has expressed regret.
