JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel’s Defense Ministry has recognized as a terror attack an incident in which a Palestinian mother of nine was killed by a thrown rock at her car.

But since the woman, Aisha Rabi, is not an Israeli citizen, her family will not receive compensation from the National Insurance Institute, Ynet reported.
Rabi, 47, was killed at the Tapuah Junction in the northern West Bank in 2018 when a rock thrown at the car driven by her husband struck Rabi in the head. Her husband said that the rocks were thrown from near a Jewish settlement and that he heard people speaking Hebrew, though he did not see them. The couple’s 9-year-old daughter was also in the car.
A 16-year-old from the Pri Haaretz Yeshiva in the West Bank settlement of Rehalim was arrested and charged last year with manslaughter, aggravated stone throwing at a moving vehicle, and intentional sabotage of a vehicle. He remains under house arrest. A judge said at the time of the teen’s indictment that his DNA was found on the rock that smashed through the car’s windshield.
A guilty verdict on manslaughter could carry a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, though the term could be mitigated for a minor.
Rabi’s family will appeal the decision against compensation, and could appeal to Israeli authorities to demolish the home of the alleged teenage attacker if he is found guilty.
the epitome of recklessness ,stupidity and lack of ahavas yisroel
Give her the compensation and create a positive image.
While we are a nation that abhor s murderer I ask so how does it feel Palestinian s? It hurts doesn’t it? (That’s what the Muslim animals we’re asking a Jew they where torturing before killing him in Hebron 1929 hyd
Whilst I don’t condone this dumb act, at all, the fact that Palies have been throwing rocks at Israeli cars, for years on end, resulting in deaths or major injuries, and the fact that people sometimes respond in kind is called mitigating circumstances and is certainly understandable, sadly.
If the Palies are so concerned by an Israeli’s response they would be wise to stop their terrorism, or……

Prosecuted by whom? The Jewish State which you don’t recognize ? And you’re prancing around calling people , rasha?
mr. yingale, you’re suspiciously overheated about a Jewish ” terrorist” to the poi nt of rage. Not excusing that behavior, but maybe because he’s also a Zionist,is driving you over the cliff?
Frankly, I’m more bothered when a Jew in Israel is terrorised .Are you?? Or you think it’s not his country. Maybe you’re the rasha? Think it over…. You protest too strongly. The lady doth protest too much…
