President Isaac Herzog cleared the criminal record of Elor Azaria, a former soldier convicted in the 2016 killing of a wounded Palestinian assailant, according to Anadolu Agency.

Azaria was originally convicted and imprisoned for the incident. The details of Herzog's decision and the timing of the record clearance were not further specified in the available reporting.
