             Israel Convicts 2 in 2014 Killing of Palestinian Teen

   by VOA News

   A Jerusalem court convicted two Israeli youths Monday for last year's
   killing of a 16-year-old Palestinian teen who was burned to death in
   East Jerusalem.

   The court postponed its verdict for a third defendant in the case,
   31-year-old Yosef Haim Ben David, after his lawyer submitted a
   last-minute insanity defense.

   The two youths are due to be sentenced in January.

   Abu Khdeir was abducted and then burned to death in retaliation for the
   kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teens. His father denounced
   Monday's verdict.

   The killings were part of back-and-forth attacks that led to a 50-day
   war in the Gaza Strip that killed more than 2,200 people, most of them
   Palestinian civilians.
