Her relatives said the family was devastated by the news. “The father always takes the family on trips, and unfortunately this time the trip ended in disaster,” they said. The death came days after two other fatal incidents involving Israeli travelers abroad.
On Tuesday, three-year-old Tabarak Abu Matar of Kuseife in the Negev drowned in a swimming pool at a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
A day later, 29-year-old Nour al-Amoudi of Zemer suffered a heart attack and died in his room while on his honeymoon in Thailand.
