An Israeli military court has sentenced a Palestinian man to three life terms for the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank.
Hussam Qawasmeh, a member of Hamas, must also pay $63,000 (£41,000) in compensation to the victims' families.
Two other suspects were shot dead by Israeli forces in Hebron in September.
The murders in June led to an escalation of violence between Israel and Palestinian militants, which erupted into a 50-day conflict in Gaza.
The leader of Hamas, the Islamist group dominant in Gaza, said in an interview in August that a Hamas cell had killed the teenagers but had not acted on instructions from above.
