Editing Omar al-Abed (section)

==Aftermath==
The case sparked considerable debate on capital punishment within Israel.<ref name=jp/> Had Abed received the death penalty he would only be the second person in Israeli history to do so, the other being prominent Nazi [[Adolf Eichmann]] who was sentenced to death in 1962.<ref name=toi/>

The soldier who stopped Abed in his tracks received a bravery award and the army thanked him for his restraint in not shooting Abed more than necessary to stop the attack.<ref name=jp/> The army also used concrete to partially destroy the killer's family home in August 2017; the Salomans subsequently applied to the High Court for the home's complete destruction.<ref name=toi/> Also in August Abed's father, mother, an uncle and two brothers received short jail sentences for knowing of the impending attack but doing nothing to prevent it.<ref name=arab/>

The Palestinian Authority pays Abed a lifelong salary equivalent to $3,120 per month as a reward for the murders.<ref name=win/>
