The Israeli soldier who was convicted of murder for brutally killing a wounded Palestinian man has been released from prison after serving a lenient nine-month jail term.

Palestinian activist who filmed “extrajudicial execution” of injured man by an Israeli soldier in Al-Khalil last March, said he “feared for his life” after the Israeli soldier was found guilty.
