Looking at the Elor Azaria Affair Upon his Release

Produced in May 2018, upon the release of Elor Azaria from jail after nine months, this i24News segment (01:31) summarizes the controversial affair as well as the way in which it divided the nation. In March 2016, IDF soldier Azaria shot and killed a Palestinian terrorist who was already neutralized, after stabbing another soldier. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter, but released from prison after nine months of an 18 month sentence. This affair sparked widespread debate in Israeli society over how the Rules of Engagement should be applied in the wake of Palestinian violence.
