An Israeli military court has handed down two terms of life imprisonment to a Palestinian who stabbed to death a Jewish woman settler, an army spokeswoman told AFP on Friday.
The court on Thursday sentenced Maher al-Hashlamoun, a member of Islamic Jihad from the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, after previously convicting him of murdering Dalia Lemkus, 26, as she waited at a bus stop outside Alon Shvut settlement in November.
Hashlamoun wounded two other people before a security guard shot and wounded him.
The Jerusalem Post newspaper said he had been freed from prison in 2005 after serving five years for throwing a petrol bomb at Israeli troops.
The November 10 attack on Lemkus came hours after the fatal stabbing of a young Israeli soldier in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian teenager from the West Bank.
The assailant was later arrested.
