The military court of appeals will hold a hearing tomorrow on former soldier Elor Azariya's request to postpone his scheduled Wednesday entry into prison for what is now an 18-month sentence on a manslaughter conviction for shooting a wounded terrorist.
Azariya has asked Chief-of-Staff Gadi Eisenkot of the Israel Defense Forces for leniency, including community service instead of jail time. Military prosecutors are opposed to the request to delay implementing the sentence.
