More Israelis Resort to Suicide to Escape Gradual Death

As the Zionist regime intensifies its cruelty and injustice even against its own so-called citizens, more and more Israelis embark on suicide attempts to escape destitute.

An Israeli mother who tried to kill herself and her two children on the coasts of the Northern port city of Haifa was arrested by Israeli police Tuesday night.

According to a report by the Israeli Maariv daily, the 36-year old Israeli mother intended to kill herself and her 3 and 7-year old children in the sea of Haifa at 9:30 last night but Haifa municipality sea patrol guards stopped her.

The guards have handed over the woman to police and she is going to be tried in an Israeli court.

Her children have been transferred to the city’s social affaires office.

As poor people are dying of hunger, the number of Israeli settlers who stage self-immolation or commit suicide is on the increase to let the world know of the Zionist regime’s cruelty and injustice even against its own so-called citizens who have been brought to the Occupied Palestine to live in the lands and houses of the Palestinians.

Two more Israelis attempted to self-immolate late Sunday night and on Monday, the sixth and seventh attempts in just over a week. Police and security guards managed to prevent both of the men from harming themselves.

In Ofakim, Sunday night, a 65-year-old man threatened to set himself on fire.

Police were called to the scene and prevented him from following through with his threat, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

On Monday, a 47-year-old resident of southern town of Netivot tried to set himself on fire at the city hall.

A security guard, together with police, prevented him from hurting himself. Police detained the man.

Moshe Silman, who died Friday after self-immolating a week before in Tel Aviv, was buried in Holon.

Earlier in the day, a 50-year-old disabled IDF veteran set himself alight in Yehud, and was apparently inspired by Silman.
