The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court sentenced border policeman Orian Ben Khalifa to eight months of suspended imprisonment and compensation in the amount of NIS 2,000 for allegedly assaulting an Arab woman.
Ben Khalifa is accused of assaulting the woman, who happens to be the daughter of a Muslim preacher in Jerusalem, while she was on a security mission in the Old City in 2021.
A support demonstration for Ben Khalifa is taking place outside the court.
