At the same time... the lawsuit should be rejected because of the state’s immunity to damages...and the police service of the deceased [Ahuva Tomer].”The court asked Rozen to respond to the state’s defense, but dismissed the case after receiving no response, it said.Tomer died on December 6, four days after suffering burns over 90 percent of her body when she rushed to save lives of prison wardens in a burning bus during the fire that killed 43 other people as well.
