A court in Israel has sentenced a Jewish settler to life in prison after he was found guilty of murdering three Palestinians in 2015, one of whom was a toddler.

Amiram Ben-Uliel was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences on Monday for an attack the judge said was committed out of "extreme and racist ideology." Ben-Uliel, 25, was convicted in May of three counts of murder and two charges of attempted murder and arson for the deaths of Ali, Saad and Riham Dawabsheh in the West Bank town of Duma.
