In his first interview since his wife allegedly stabbed three of their children to death last week, Mohammed Aloragan said on Sunday that he forgave her and intends to have more children with her.
Aloragan told Israel Radio that his wife showed no signs of depression, and vehemently denied reports that she had been treated by alternative medicine practitioners. He said that he does not believe in alternative medicine, and trusts only doctors.
Aldoragan pledged to get proper medical help for his wife and said he did not blame her for the murders. “What happened was from Allah,” he said.
The woman, a 26-year-old resident of the southern Bedouin city of Rahat, allegedly stabbed to death three of her children, ages 8, 4 and 1 month, last Wednesday. A fourth child, a 2-year-old girl, was lightly injured.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
