Egyptian guard gets life with hard labor for killing seven Israelis
An Egyptian military court sentenced Suleiman Khater to life imprisonment with hard labor for the October 5 attack near a Sinai checkpoint that killed seven Israeli tourists. His insanity plea was rejected as the court ruled the shootings were an act of ill will. Egypt will compensate victims' families and tensions with Israel and Arab nations receded after the ruling. Israel’s ambassador welcomed the decision, calling it evidence of shared views on crime and punishment.
