Israel Prison Services (IPS) actually considered the demand of a female terrorist to have cosmetic surgery for injuries she inflicted on herself when she carried out a terror attack in the hope of murdering Jews.
In 2015, Asra’a Jabas, a resident of the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, tried to kill as many Jews as possible by blowing up a gas balloon in her car as she approached a checkpoint near Ma’aleh Adumim. Police officer Moshe Chen saved the lives of numerous Jews when he stopped the car and absorbed most of the blow of the explosion, suffering burns to his face and chest and other injuries.
Jabas herself suffered severe burns and after receiving medical treatment, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempted murder. IPS already funded two surgeries to fix her hands and she subsequently demanded funding for a nose job.
Moshe Chen’s lawyer wrote a letter to Public Security Minister Omer Barlev and Police Commissioner Katy Gondar requesting that Jabas’ appeal be rejected.
“This week, my client was astounded to hear via the media that the Prisons Service is considering funding nose surgery for the terrorist who injured him,” wrote Attorney Michael Litvak of the B’Tzalmo organization. “My client is vehemently opposed to this. It’s inconceivable that the lives of a police officer and his family members are destroyed while the terrorist receives hundreds of thousands of shekels from Israeli taxpayers. To this day, my client suffers from post-traumatic symptoms and scars and injuries. But instead of Israel Police fighting to ensure that he receives funding for the surgeries that he needs, the system is trying to help the terrorist who injured him! I demand that all resources be used toward my client’s rehabilitation and that not a single shekel goes to the terrorist beyond what she is entitled to by law.”
Chen told Channel 12 News that he still suffers from post-traumatic stress symptoms from the attack as well as pain. “There were another four full buses there and the fire reached a height of four stories,” he said. “If I hadn’t been there, everyone would have been burned. All of Am Yisrael are harmed by these terror attacks and they give terrorists whatever they want in jail. I don’t understand how they can receive university degrees and cosmetic surgery.”
Fortunately, it seems as if the IPS has come to its senses and Chen’s lawyer was notified on Monday that the terrorist’s request for cosmetic surgery will not be granted.

I bet plenty of volunteers would come forward if offered the opportunity to give her a nose job. A good punch on it! Fiendish murderer that she is.
Israel should execute her immediately;
doing anything less would be totally immoral and Hashem will punish Israel severely for compassion to the wicked…
And can you wrap your brain around the fact that Israel is considered an apartheid state that commits the worst and the most war crimes in the world according to the anti-Jewish reshoim at the UN?!! Frankly, Israel’s shortcoming is in showing kindness to barbarians like this she animal! She had other rehabilitative surgeries at the expense of the Israeli tax payer. If a terrorist “suffers” a work injury in their heinous occupation, that should be part of the price they pay for being murderers.
11 years for attempting mass murder?? She’s lucky she wasn’t caught trying to evade paying her taxes. Only mass murder. No big deal.
Chutzpah at its best____just posting this is a treat___give her a nose job and add 11 more years….
Sure, a total removal, like in the old days!
I’d appreciate if someone could explain to me, without getting excited, just a level headed explanation why a government would pay for the operations and treatment a terroist requires after deliberately injuring themselves whilst trying to murder others?
Even if the terrorist would want to pay for it themselves the victim (and his county) should not be responsible for the rehab. of the terrorist?
Would Israel have to answer themselves to the UN if they refuse to fund medical bills of the terrosit that were self-inflicted?
there must be SOME logic, (even if, perhps, it’s warped), to understand why Israel paid for those operations.
