CHAOS erupted at a Tel Aviv military court yesterday when an Israeli soldier was convicted of the cold-blooded killing of a wounded Palestinian.

Sergeant Elor Azaria was convicted of manslaughter for shooting dead Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in March in the illegally occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

He fired into Mr Sharif’s head at point-blank range as he lay bleeding on the ground after being shot and wounded while allegedly trying to stab Israeli occupation troops.
