7:31 AM @eye.on.palestine Israa Jabbis, 37, was en-route to her home in Jerusalem on 10 October, 2015, one day before the final submission of her research project for the Special Education module. Via @baraah_abo_ramouz
Her car caught fire abruptly due to a technical glitch, five hundred metres from the Al-Zayyim military checkpoint in Jerusalem. The Israeli soldiers nearby thought of Israa as a potential danger and pointed their guns at the lady who lost control of the vehicle and was engulfed in flames.
According to Israa’s lawyer, a gas cylinder accidentally blew up in Israa’s car, following which she rushed out of her vehicle screaming for help. However, she was answered with the barrel of a rifle and yelling from an Israeli officer: “Drop the knife.” Israa laid her burning body on the asphalt for 15 minutes, waiting for the soldier’s mercy or imminent death. But, in the end, she got arrested.
Israeli forces accused Israa of a ‘murder attempt’. No evidence was presented, though. The Palestinian mother also vehemently denied these charges, emphasising that she was transferring furniture to her home in the Jabal Al-Mukaber neighbourhood.
