Last update - 12:23 16/03/2008 Woman wounded from gunfire in suspected 'honor killing' attempt By Roni Singer-Heruti, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Abu-Ghanem, Honor Killing  A woman sustained light wounds after unidentified men opened fire at her on Sunday in the Jawarish neighborhood of Ramle, in what police suspect to be another attempted "honor killing" within the Abu-Ghanem family. Nine women were murdered in the extended Israeli Arab family in the last six and a half years. Sara Abu-Ghanem, 40, was on her way to work on Sunday morning, when several unidentified men opened fire at her. As a result, she sustained injuries to her head and neck and was taken to hospital. No arrests have been made as yet. Advertisement Abu-Ghnaem had divorced her Palestinian husband and has recently wished to make official her relationship with a Jewish man, a fact which caused outrage in her family. Two weeks ago, a Tel Aviv district court sentenced Kamil Abu-Gahnem to 16 years imprisonment for his involvement in the February 2007 murder of his sister, Hamda. The continuous plight of the Abu-Ghanem women and the growing number of "honor killings" attempts by family members, meant to remove some perceived stain on the family's reputation, brought about an unusual conference - the first of its kind - in which welfare and religious officials discussed the difficult situation in Ramle, and in the mixed Jewish-Arab Jawarish neighborhood in particular.
