In the days leading up to her death, the young girl was living in a woman’s hotel in Akko. In a phone call with her father, she told him she had several financial debts, to which he replied by telling his daughter to come home. Convinced by her mother and brother, she decided to return home for a short visit during Ramadan, but not before expressing concern for her safety to her friends and counselor at the hostel.

The father, who by this point had already been planning to end his daughter’s life, bought a bottle of flammable liquid. After having invited his daughter over for a barbeque, he quickly poured the liquid over her as she stood by the burning fire and then tragically set on fire herself.

Within second, the fire overwhelmed the 17-year-old, who, startled, got up from her seat and went to the edge of the roof. She lost her balance and fell off the roof, landing dead, at the bottom of the stairs of the building.
