Violent crime wave beleaguers Israel's Arab youth

In the four years since her father was fatally stabbed near the entrance of their home in northern Israel, 10-year-old Shireen has carried the burden of grief on her tiny shoulders."I loved him so much, I felt safe with him," Shireen, whose name has been changed, told AFP in the seaside town of Jisr al-Zarqa."When I found out that I lost him, I was very sad because he was a part of me. It was very difficult for me," the eldest of four siblings said.
