The grave of a three-year-old girl in Netanya will be opened on Tuesday, and the remains will undergo DNA testing as part of the investigation into the Yemenite children affair, according to a report by Kan News.

The state inquiry committee charged with investigating the disappearances of children from immigrant families from Yemen and other locations in the late 1940s and 1950s found a blood relation between the girl, Sa'ada, and the Karni family, which immigrated from Yemen in 1949.

The father was married to two wives, Shulamit and Esther. Esther's daughter disappeared from their immigrant camp when she was forcefully taken with her younger brother, despite the resistance of the two children's older sister.

A few days later, they allowed the mother to nurse her child, but later she was informed that her daughter died and was buried with her son.

After the incident, the father came to the infirmary and demanded to see the child, and the infirmary team returned the eight-month-old boy, but the daughter, Sa'ada.

The parents, Avraham and Esther, worked their entire lives to find their daughter, but in the end, they died without learning of her fate.
