An Israeli soldier who was caught on video shooting dead a wounded Palestinian attacker has been convicted of manslaughter by a military court.

Sergeant Elor Azaria, 20, killed the incapacitated Palestinian assailant in the occupied West Bank last March.

Hundreds of far-right protesters demonstrated in support of Azaria outside a military base in Tel Aviv where the verdict was handed down.

His sentence will be handed down at a later date.

In delivering her verdict, Col. Maya Heller said "the fact that the man on the ground was a terrorist does not justify a disproportionate response".
