Israeli soldier Elor Azaria was convicted of manslaughter by a military court on Wednesday in a case that has divided his country. The verdict sparked clashes between Azaria’s supporters and police outside the court in Tel Aviv.

Azaria, a 20-year-old conscript, was filmed shooting dead a wounded Palestinian assailant who had been disarmed in March 2016.

A supporter on the street outside the court held a poster which read in Hebrew: “A soldier sent to the battlefield cannot be a murderer.”
