Newsrael News Desk 01.06.2022
Eichmann was charged with fifteen counts of violating the law. His trial began on 11 April 1961 and was presided over by three judges: Moshe Landau, Benjamin Halevy, and Yitzhak Raveh.
Convicted on all fifteen counts, Eichmann was sentenced to death. He appealed to the Supreme Court, which confirmed the convictions and the sentence. President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi rejected Eichmann's request to commute the sentence.
In Israel's only judicial execution to date, Eichmann was hanged on 31 May 1962 at Ramla Prison.
