A girl whose mother and twin sister were shot to death in a brutal attack will not be able to attend their funeral, with police fearing for her life, Ynet reports.
Maryam Hajaj, 14, was seriously injured in the Monday night attack in the central city of Lod that left her mother Manar Hajaj and sister Khadra Hajaj dead, the latest in an unrelenting wave of killings in Israel’s Arab community.
She will be kept in a safe house and not allowed to attend the burial “due to concrete threats to her life,” the report says.
