On video: The case of the Yemeni children: another grave of one of the kidnapped children was opened (Yotam Ronan)

Another grave, the third in number, related to the case of the disappearance of Yemeni children, was opened today at Segula Cemetery in Petah Tikva.

According to the hypothesis, this is the grave of Hamma Karva, who was 18 years old when she disappeared.

The grave was opened at the request of her son, Rahim, who was one year old at the time of her disappearance.

Examining this grave should be simpler, since it is a grown woman and not a toddler.

The son, Rahamim, said: "Three months after we immigrated to Israel, mother started having stomach pains, and she was hospitalized at Assaf Harofeh Hospital. Father came to visit her often. One day he came, and she simply disappeared."

According to him, no one knew what had happened to her, and even the doctors could not tell where she had gone.

In 1995, the family received a message that the woman was buried in a grave that was opened today.

"On the tombstone is written a completely different name, Omesi," Rahami said.

"One day dad came, and she just disappeared."

The son says that for 73 years the family does not know what happened to the mother.

"If after the tests it turns out that it is her, we will feel satisfied and give her a proper funeral," he concluded, "I don't know how to stop the tears."

Another Rami Tzuberi, who represents the family, said: "This is a sensational grave. Every time we see a mother looking for her child, and now it's a son looking for his mother. There are strange things here - firstly, a different name is written on the grave. Second - the committee decided that despite the lack of The match in ages (34 versus 17), they claim was a mistake by the hospital. Therefore, we must deny or confirm."

In recent months, the graves of two children, Yosef Melamed and Uziel Khoury, were opened, which were suspected to be the graves of missing Yemeni children.

This follows years of legal battles by the families seeking to find out what happened to their loved ones.

In the case of Hori, two graves were discovered under her grave.

The families believe that the children, who the hospitals said had died, were given up for adoption without the family's consent.
