Arabic media are reporting that a man in northern Gaza beat his 16-year old daughter to death.
The family had buried her on Wednesday claiming she died of natural causes but police exhumed her body a day later and saw that she was beaten.
The reason given was "family problems." The father is divorced.
Also on Thursday, a man stabbed his 19-year old sister to death while she was praying. The reason given was "family honor."
Some 27 women were murdered, apparently for "honor" reasons, in the West Bank and Gaza in 2013, double the number killed in 2012.
