A Palestinian man who killed a British exchange student in Jerusalem in 2017 has been jailed for 18 years, with the victim’s family described as “outraged” over the leniency of the sentence.
Jamil Tamimi, 59, killed Hannah Bladon, a 21 year-old student, in a stabbing attack carried out on the Jerusalem light rail system in April 2017.
Tamimi, who had recently been released from a psychiatric facility in northern Israel, targeted the British student shortly after she had given up her seat on the train to an older lady.
Ms Bladon, a religious studies undergraduate at the University of Birmingham, was on an exchange programme with Hebrew University at the time.
