As violence spikes, the killing of an unarmed Palestinian mother highlights the awful toll of occupation.
Husan, West Bank In the well-appointed house in the West Bank village of Husan, members of Ghada Sabateen's family welcomed a stream of mourners with bleary eyes.
Sabateen, a 47-year-old widow, mother of six and math teacher, died from her wounds after being shot in the legs by Israeli forces near a temporary military checkpoint in the village on Sunday after the Israeli army said she didn't heed verbal warnings and ran toward them as they fired warning shots in the air. She was unarmed, according to the Israel Defense Forces. But Sabateen was mostly blind, her family said.
