Woman shot dead in northern Israel in 16th case of femicide in 2023

Dima Bushnak was shot and killed on Sunday night at the age of 19, according to an Israel Police spokesperson, making her the 78th Arab to be murdered this year in Israel and the sixth Arab woman (16th overall).

Ynet reported that a suspect in the murder was arrested.

Bushnak's friends believe the murder to be an honor killing as they told Ynet that she had been threatened consistently by her family after she decided to study architecture in Safed. Walla reported that her family was also unhappy to see her getting close to the family that owned the butchers where she worked.

Violence statistics exist which are not for the squeamish.

Jealousy is a major emotion along with paternalistic pride.
