Medical sources said on Wednesday that the 45-year-old disabled Akiva Mafi died of serious burns sustained when he self-immolated in a wheelchair at a bus stop in Yehud, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of Tel Aviv, in late July.

Mafi had burns over about 80 percent of his body.

57-year-old Moshe Silman similarly died on July 20 several days after he set himself ablaze in Tel Aviv.
