Mission & Justice

Roni Singer-Heruti; 16/3/08

A woman sustained light wounds after unidentified men opened fire at her on Sunday in the Jawarish neighborhood of Ramle, in what police suspect to be another attempted “honor killing” within the Abu-Ghanem family. Nine women were murdered in the extended Israeli Arab family in the last six and a half years. Sara Abu-Ghanem, 40, was on her way to work on Sunday morning, when several unidentified men opened fire at her. As a result, she sustained injuries to her head and neck and was taken to hospital. No arrests have been made as yet. Abu-Ghnaem had divorced her Palestinian husband and has recently wished to make official her relationship with a Jewish man, a fact which caused outrage in her family.
