Sgt. Elor Azaria convicted of manslaughter
Sgt. Elor Azaria was convicted of manslaughter on Wednesday after shooting dead a seriously wounded terrorist in Hebron last year.
Azaria will be sentenced in about a month and could face several years in prison.
Azaria has spent the nine months of the trial under open detention at his brigade's base near Rosh HaAyin, where he has been doing maintenance work.
The Military Advocate General's Office has been considering asking the court to send Azaria to prison immediately without waiting for the sentencing.
Azaria's defense team said they intend to appeal the conviction at the military court of appeals. This could drag the trial out for at least four more months and even longer if another appeal is filed to the Supreme Court.
