The Head of Central Command, Major General Avi Mizrachi, said in an interview with IDF Radio Tuesday that the Military Prosecution should have asked for the death penalty for the murderers of Fogel family in Itamar.
Mizrachi noted that the Military Justice Law makes it possible to hand down a death sentence, even though this has not been done in the IDF's history.
The murderers "are not worthy of being called human beings," he said. "In this case, the right thing to do would have been to demand a death sentence. This is not a matter of revenge."
