The Beersheba District Court sentenced Surya Abu Arar, 44, to seven years in prison after she was convicted of causing the deaths of Eliav Aviksis, 23, and his fiancée Shahaf Danino, 28, in a crash about a year ago. Abu Arar overtook two vehicles while her young children were in the car. She accelerated to 124 km/h on a road with a 90 km/h speed limit, crossed a solid dividing line and collided head-on with the couple's vehicle, killing them both at the scene. After the sentencing was read, a commotion erupted at the courthouse.
