Four-year-old Adelle Biton, who passed away following a rapid deterioration in her condition due to a bout with pneumonia, will be buried in her hometown of Yakir in Samaria, the family announced on Tuesday night.
The Biton family said that the funeral will take place on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m., despite the difficulties imposed by the Civil Administration, which denied the request to bury Adelle in Yakir, citing the lack of a master plan for a cemetery in a 20 dunam area set aside by the Shomron Regional Council.
Adelle was critically wounded in March 2013, when the family car was attacked with rocks outside of Ariel in Samaria by Arab terrorists, causing the car to crash. The fist-sized rock struck Adelle directly in the head. Doctors said her recovery from the blow was nothing short of miraculous. Adelle had been in and out of the hospital since then in a grueling rehabilitation period.
Given the need to bury her quickly, the Deputy Head of the Shomon Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, urgently contacted Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office on Tuesday evening and spoke with Cabinet Secretary Avichai Mandelblit, demanding that the office get involved on the matter.
"It cannot be that a girl who turned into a terror victim will not be able to be buried in the town she lived in just because of a bureaucratic matter," said Dagan.

I’m sorry about this little girl and her family going through such sickness and loss. That said, I thought maybe the article was about that chubby British girl singer with the big voice and classy presence. I wondered why she would be preoccupied with her own burial arrangements. Marilyn Manson or Kayne, I could see, being that morbid and death-centric .
The poor little girl. Any upper-respiratory illness can turn into pneumonia in a person who isn’t in good health to start with.
It’s unfortunately that there was even a question about her being buried in her hometown.
