Boruch Dayan Hoemes: Adele Biton, 5, HYD

With great sadness and pain we inform you of the passing of 5-year-old Adele Biton, HYD, who was critically injured two years ago in a vehicular accident that occurred as a result of a rock-throwing attack by Palestinians in the West Bank.

Amid the barrage of rocks, Adele’s mother lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the rear of a truck parked on the side of the road.

Adele’s two sisters and mother, as well as four other Israelis, were wounded in the attack.

After 18-months of operations and hospitalization, Adele was permitted to return home in August 2014. Now, a half year after being sent home, Adele slipped into critical condition in Schneider Children’s Hospital in Petach Tikvah with a severe bout of pneumonia, which has led to systemic complications.

Adele’s mother Adva said prior to her death Tuesday that she had no doubt that the severity of the pneumonia came as a direct result of the injury she received in the 2013 terror attack, reports the Jerusalem Post.

“There is no doubt that it stems from the neurological damage which she suffered, which makes dealing with all medical issues more difficult. Every little thing puts her body into major stress,” she added.

    the only way I can think about this, is to do a mitzva(s) in her name. That is the only true life, is to add life to her name.

    Every precious Jewish neshama, stolen by terrorists’ violent crimes (or as a result of such crimes), is like a new Holocaust. What torture for her family & a loss to k’lal Yisrael. Baruch Dayan Ha’emet!
