"Israa came from a conservative family where strict social rules guide courtship between young women and men, and her use of social media would become a focal point amid the disputed circumstances that led up to her death.
"She is believed to have posted to friends on social media a photo of herself and her fiancé in a coffee shop. The contents of the account have since been deleted. "
As the article notes, social media played a role in following up the case after Israa's death/murder, including a hashtag campaign around her name. BBC Monitoring notes that three people have now been charted in relation to this case.
