Yet another honor killing -- the 9th in Gaza since the beginning of 2009. "Rights groups: Gaza man suspected of killing daughter for owning cellphone," from the [1] Jerusalem Post, July 29 (thanks to M. P.):

A Gaza man is being held on suspicion he bludgeoned his daughter to death with an iron chain because he discovered she owned a cell phone, human rights groups said Wednesday.

The groups added that the victim's three brother's were also detained.

The woman, a 27-year-old divorced mother of five, was the 10th victim of a so-called "honor killing" in the Palestinian territories and among Arabs in Israel this year.
