Terror victim Adele Bitton dies from penumonia

Adele Bitton, the four-year-old girl who was seriously wounded when Palestinian terrorists hurled rocks at a car she was traveling in two years ago on a West Bank roads, passed away.

Bitton died in the Schneider Hospital in Petah Tikva from complications of pneumonia.

“With great sadness we announce the passing of Adele Biton, who passed away this evening despite doctors’ efforts to save her. We send our condolences to the family,” the hospital says in a statement.

Bitton was hospitalized in the beginning of the week and her condition deteriorated badly since Tuesday morning.

Bitton was seriously wounded when he was in a car with her mother and sisters on Road 5 in the West Bank, after terrorists threw rocks at the car.

After prolonged hospitalization Bitton was taken for rehabilitation at Beit Lewinstein. She would be released home for weekends.

In April Beit Lewinstein said her rehabilitation was complete but the family demanded additional time at the center. The sides ended up in court, which ruled for the family, and Biton was given several additional months in Beit Lewinstein.

She only returned home in September after her family home in the community of Yakir was fitted with proper facilities. “Our Adele is coming home,” her mother, Adva Bitton said at the time.
