When British-Israeli siblings Rasha and Yarad Yusef were shot dead in their Jerusalem home in February 2016, their mother, Hana Yusef, was fighting for her life. Hana Yusef is a British-Israeli dualitizen and mother of three daughters.
Since then, the Yusefs have become an active national philanthropist in the Israeli and Palestinian communities, working together to fight poverty, racism, and violence. In October 2017, they took their third daughter, Yeshia, into their home after she was born in a refugee camp in Jordan.
When Hana Yusef was shot and killed, her three daughters were 4, 5, and 7 years old. They were the only siblings left in the Yusef family, and Hana left them to marry an American man and raise their three daughters alone.
The Yusefs have since founded Center for the Value of Life, a non-profit that helps empower Palestinian women and girls to access quality education and live fulfilling lives. The organization has helped thousands of Palestinian women and girls, and has helped to create a safe, supportive and ray of hope for these communities.

When British-Israeli siblings Rasha and Yarad Yusef were shot dead in their Jerusalem home in February 2016, their mother, Hana Yusef, was fighting for her life. Hana Yusef is a British-Israeli dual citizen and mother of three daughters.
Since then, the Yusefs have become an active national philanthropist in the Israeli and Palestinian communities, working together to fight poverty, racism, and violence. In October 2017, they took their third daughter, Yeshia, into their home after she was born in a refugee camp in Jordan.
But what made the Yusefs’ Home for the Healing and Protection of Mothers and Daughters so important is that it helpseto empower Palestinian women and girls to access quality education and live fulfilling lives.
The Yusefs have also founded Center for the Value of Life, a non-profit that helps empower Palestinian women and girls to access quality education and live fulfilling lives. This organization has helped thousands of Palestinian women and girls, and has helped to create a safe, supportive, and ray of hope for these communities.
Fathers across the world are often horrified by the tragedy of their own daughters being killed while fighting for their lives, but they may not fully understand the experience of these mothers. We hope that this article will help to open up a more fuzzed-over perspective on what it’s like for fathers to have their daughters lose their lives in military combat or in other situations where their lives are put in danger.

1. “Father’s horror as British-Israeli daughters shot dead and wife fought for life”
British-Israeli sisters, Shirah and Shirel Friedman, were shot dead on May 31, 2017, while driving with their mother, Tzipora, in the West Bank. Tzipora fought for her life after sustaining critical injuries. The girls were aged 21 and 25 respectively, and had been visiting Israel over the festive period when tragedy struck. Tzipora reportedly told Israeli investigators that she was about to pull over their car to allow an Amnon Sharoni jeep behind to pass, when it suddenly pulled alongside and opened fire on them. The motive for the shooting remains unclear.
Their father, Mendi Friedman, expressed his horror and grief at the loss of his daughters, and prayed for the recovery of his wife. He said that “the girls were the light of my life,” and that they had been planning their future lives with their boyfriends. He appealed for justice to be done for his daughters and for an end to the hatred and violence that has claimed so many innocent lives in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Many people in Israel and around the world expressed their shock and condemnation of the attack, while others called for the Israeli authorities to take stronger measures to prevent such incidents and bring the responsible parties to justice.

Recent news stories have highlighted a disturbing trend of young women in Britain being groomed, exploited, and raped by gangs of men. These men often target vulnerable girls, including those in care homes, and use them for their own twisted pleasure. The extent of the problem is vast, with reports suggesting that thousands of girls have been affected.

The shocking reality of the UK’s hidden epidemic of honor-based violence has been brought to light by recent media coverage. The victims are predominantly young girls and women, from South Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds. These girls are often subject to serious punishment, including beatings, forced marriages, and even murder, simply for wanting to live their lives in a different way to their families.
We need to wake up to the fact that this is happening on our doorstep, right here in the UK. It’s not just a problem for these families or these communities; it’s a problem for all of us. It’s time for us to take responsibility and work together to put an end to this terrible practice.
- Girls as young as six are being forced into marriage
- Many honor killings are disguised as suicides or accidents
- The UK government estimates that 12 forced marriages are taking place every day
We need to raise awareness of honor-based violence and the devastating impact it has on the lives of young girls and women. We need to educate people about the true meaning of honor, and how it should be about respect and kindness, not violence and control. And we need to support the victims of these crimes, many of whom have nowhere else to turn. Together, we can make a difference and put an end to this horrific practice once and for all.
