The grave of two-year-old Zahara Dahbash, who disappeared in the 1950s as part of the so-called "Yemen children abduction affair," was opened today (Monday) at the Segula Cemetery in Petah Tikva.
According to the information provided to Zahara's family, she died in the hospital and was buried without their presence in the Segula Cemetery.
The affair clouded the family for years, and they even participated in the investigation by the Commission of Inquiry into the Disappearance of Yemeni Children at that time.

According to a report by Assaf Golan in Israel Hayom, the investigation revealed that there were many vague details surrounding Zahara's death, with the most disturbing detail being the fact that the identification number given to her was being used by another person named Reuven.
In light of this, the family members petitioned to open the grave and conduct a DNA test on the bones.

The grave is one of nine that will be opened, with the assistance of attorney Rami Tsoubri, who works voluntarily to represent the families.
The lawyer, who represents the Dahbash family, explained: "This is a two-year-old girl who was in the hospital due to a mild diarrhea problem, and her relatives came to visit her on Friday when she was in reasonable condition.
""On Saturday night, when they came to visit her, it turned out that she was dead and they had already buried her and had not given her body to her parents. This obscurity was also expressed in the state investigation committee that presented its conclusions on the disappearance of the Yemeni children.".
