What's So Honorable About This?

Well, we're back to normal behavior.

There's been a suspected honor killing in Ashkelon as a Bedouin woman was found stabbed to death next to her infant daughter

Details:

A Bedouin woman of about 20 was murdered in the southern city of Ashkelon Saturday in what police are suspecting was an "honor killing." The victim's 2-year-old daughter, who was unharmed in the attack, was found next to her mother...An MDA doctor pronounced the victim dead at the scene. The woman is believed to have been stabbed to death. Meanwhile, the child has been handed over to welfare officials. A medic at the scene said the woman was found in a pool of blood and without vital signs.

...Ashkelon Police Chief Haim Blumenfeld told Ynet that the victim's boyfriend was taken in for questioning


Oh, and in case you missed it, here's the previous one in Israel, but 12 days ago:-

A 15-year old Israeli Arab Muslim from the city of Kalansawa has admitted to murdering his 20-year-old sister. The teen said he stabbed his sister on Monday morning in a so-called “honor killing”--a killing in which the victim is accused of tarnishing family honor by violating the tenets of Islam or flouting cultural norms.

The teen and his sister fought on Sunday night. The 15-year-old strongly objected to his sister's expressed wish to leave the home more often and purchase a cell phone.

The murder took place the next morning, as the sister slept in her bed.
