(Ynet) A German court on Thursday sentenced a Palestinian student, identified as Mustafa A., to three years in prison for the antisemitic assault of Lahav Shapira, the grandson of Amitzur Shapira — one of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Munich Olympics.

The attack took place late at night in early February 2024 in Berlin and was found by the court to have been motivated by antisemitism. Mustafa punched Lahav Shapira and kicked him while he was lying on the ground. As a result, Shapira suffered severe facial fractures, a brain hemorrhage, and significant eye damage. He underwent several surgeries and was unable to eat solid food for a month.
