Three sisters stabbed to death in Gaza

And the news was barely reported.

 

That’s because the sisters – 16-year-old Nahed Hija, 19-year-old Suha and 22-year-old Lina – were not killed by Israel but were murdered by fellow Palestinians, probably in some perverse Islamic “honor killing.”

 

They were found dead yesterday, each with multiple stab wounds. In February, three unrelated woman were killed within a 24-hour period in the Gaza Strip. At the time, there were concerns that vigilante “Islamic morality” groups were behind the murders.
