An Israeli court has convicted two border guards over the unlawful killing of a Palestinian teenager in the West Bank town of Hebron in 2002.
Imran Abu Hamdieh died after the two men, Shahar Botbeka and Denis Alhazov, pushed him from the back of a military vehicle travelling at 50mph (80km/h).
Earlier this year, another member of their unit was jailed for six and a half years, but he fled the country.
A fourth officer was jailed for four and a half years in a plea bargain.
Mr Abu Hamdieh was seized from outside his home in Hebron on 30 December 2002.
