Last update - 09:40 11/03/2008 Brother shoots sister in suspected 'honor killing' attempt By Eli Ashkenazi, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: honor killing  A 24-year-old resident of Kfar Naura shot his sister, seriously wounding her, in a suspected 'honor killing' late Monday night. Afula police received a call around midnight reporting gunfire in the Israeli-Arab village. Magen David Adom paramedics who reached the house found the sister, 20, seriously wounded and took her to Haemek hospital in Afula. A short while after, the brother turned himself in to police, admitting he was responsible for the shooting. He maintained that his divorced sister was befriending men, and so he therefore shot her, thinking he killed her. Advertisement Last week, Rashad Abu-Ganem was found guilty just of the involvement in the murder of his sister in the context of 'honor killing,' after he reached a plea bargain deal with prosecutors. In the past six years, eight women from the Abu-Ganem family were murdered, all in the context of 'honor killings.'
