The mother was partially blind and is known for her medical condition. One reports on the social media that she is completely blind in one eye and weak in the other

She was on her way to visit her cousin it is reported. One lamented this way on her death
Ghada Sabateen was a widow who suffered from vision difficulties. She was trying to avoid the Zionist armed settlers. They shot her in cold blood as every colonial settler would do. 6 children have just been orphaned in the early days of Ramadan. A systematic ethnic cleansing.

Ghada Sabateen, a Palestinian widowed mother of 6, died after Israeli occupation forces shot her while walking to visit relatives in Husan near Bethlehem. Oh wait, the media doesn't care about violence against palestinians. #hypocrisy
