Bone remains found about two weeks ago near Horah in the Negev have been identified as belonging to Nivin al-Amarni, who was murdered by her brother in 2020 at the age of 21. According to Israel Hayom, on October 20 a local resident reported human remains near the well, and the findings were transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir.

According to Arutz Sheva, the brother, Naaman al-Huiti, admitted to the murder as part of a plea deal and was sentenced in 2022 to 28 years in prison, and the father was convicted of failure to prevent a felony and assaulting his wife. According to Ynet, the indictment was filed after the mother's caregiver testified about what happened in the house.

According to Ynet, another brother is the one who alerted the police, and a relative said her story must remind people of the responsibility of those in charge to fight violence. Her friends had hoped she would be found alive.
