Jaabis’ car was severely damaged and she suffered severe burns all over her body. She suffered burns in her face, chest, back, legs and hands. Eight of her hand fingers were amputated in the incident.
Israeli occupation claimed that she planned to detonate her car to kill Israeli soldiers; however, the incident took place very far from the Israeli checkpoint and none of the Israeli soldiers was affected.
He family said that the fire in the car was caused by a short circuit that set the fire in a domestic gas container she had in the back seat.
