| [IsraelTimes] Two Palestinian terrorists have been sentenced to life plus 50 years in prison for carrying out a deadly shooting attack near the West Bank city of Hebron in August 2023. Saqer and Mohammed a-Shanter, who are relatives, opened fire on a vehicle near the Beit Hagai Junction on August 21, 2023, killing Batsheva Nigri, 42, and seriously wounding a man. The pair fled and were arrested a day later. According to the indictment, Saqer and Mohammed were in contact with Hamas operatives in order to fund the payment for the weapon that would be used in the attack. On August 21, the two arrived at Beit Hagai Junction with an assault rifle and three magazines, and upon spotting an Israeli car, they opened fire, shooting a total of 28 bullets. A military court sentenced them today to life plus 50 years in prison, and also ordered them to pay the victims 3.4 million shekels.
