He will be sentenced in the upcoming days. Arjeh is facing life in prison.

Arjeh took part in an attack in which large stones were hurled at the Palmers’ car. A stone hit Asher Palmer, who was driving, in the face.

The injured Palmer lost control of the car, possibly after losing consciousness, resulting in a crash in which both he and baby Yonatan were killed. Yonatan was two days shy of his first birthday.

Asher had been on his way to pick up his pregnant wife, Pua, from her job in Jerusalem. Pua gave birth to a baby girl five months after the murders, and named her daughter Orit, meaning “light.”

The trial was attended by United States representatives due to the fact that Asher had U.S. citizenship.

Asher’s father Michael expressed satisfaction with the verdict, telling Arutz Sheva, “Justice has come to light. This has been one of the hardest times of my life, as I fought to ensure my son and grandson’s murderers would be punished.”

Military court judges will give a verdict next month in the case of a second PA resident terrorist accused of taking part in the attack.
