On video: The verdict in the hate wedding case (Walla system!)
The Jerusalem District Court today (Thursday) overturned the decision regarding four right-wing activists participating in the "Hate Wedding", and convicted them of inciting violence.
All four were defined as minors during the incident, in which those involved were seen setting fire to and stabbing pictures of members of the Devabshe family, who were murdered in the village of Duma in 2015.
Originally, the Magistrate's Court acquitted the four participants of the crime of incitement to violence, but today, following the state's appeal, the District Court ruled that they had committed it.
In addition, the court left the acquittal of another one intact due to doubt.

The background to the case is the murder incident in the village of Duma in 2015, during which a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the house of the Devabsha family.
As a result, the house caught fire and the couple Saad and Riham and their baby son Ali perished.
The inscription "Revenge" was sprayed on their house and a Star of David was painted.
About four months later, several suspects were arrested for the murder.
Shortly after the arrests, a wedding event took place in Jerusalem, during which the wedding singer sang two songs whose content is related to revenge.
To the tune of the songs, signs were waved on the dance floor with pictures of members of the Devabshe family and the words "Revenge" written on them.
In addition, two automatic rifles, objects that resembled weapons, knives, as well as glass bottles that were wrapped in cloth to resemble Molotov cocktails were hoisted.
The participants against whom the verdict was filed, together with other involved, repeatedly stabbed the photos of the members of the Devabsha family with knives, and some set fire to and tore up the photos.
