Martyr Abu Khdeir's killer dies in prison
Yusuf Hayim Ben David, the main defendant in the 2014 killing of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir, died in prison at the age of 42. The court had convicted him of the crime on a nationalistic background after he confessed to deliberately carrying out the act. He had planned it with his brother and two minors as revenge against Palestinians for the abduction and killing of Israeli civilians. The crime involved a horrific attack where Abu Khdeir was strangled, poured with fuel by Ben David and others, and set on fire, resulting in his death by burning. The court confirmed that the accused was aware and capable of controlling his actions, and that he did not suffer from psychological disorders that would warrant a reduction of the sentence. It emphasized the fairness of its final ruling after reviewing Ben David’s mental state, with investigations indicating he was fully responsible for his actions.
