West Bank infant killed in apparent Jewish arson attack

Source: Times of Israel

Palestinian family’s home set on fire near Nablus; Hebrew graffiti on walls calls for ‘revenge'; security forces at the scene

A Palestinian infant was killed in the West Bank early Friday morning in an arson attack, apparently by Jewish extremists.

Two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, were set alight, and the Hebrew words “revenge” and “long live the messiah” were spray-painted on their walls, alongside a Star of David.

Palestinian medical sources said the child, Ali Saad Dawabsha, was 18-months-old.

The infant’s parents, as well as his 4-year-old brother, were all injured and evacuated to hospital. They were said to be in moderate-to-serious condition

These Jewish Taliban were deployed deep inside the West Bank by the Israelis in order to make it easier to dominate. The same Israeli government that let's the price tag terrorists operate with impunity.

The murder of the baby is the worst part, but it's also pretty bad that the murderers (if even caught) won't get the same treatment that Palestinians get. In addition, collective punishment is one of the cornerstones of Israeli rule over Palestinians, but in this case, just because the murderers were Jewish, there won't be any collective punishment at all.

Army beefing up West Bank presence in anticipation of riots, after baby burned to death, apparently by Jewish arsonists; politicians from left and right denounce attack

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday forcefully condemned the arson attack on a Palestinian family — in which an infant was burned to death — as a “horrific, heinous” crime that is “a terror attack in every respect.”


Two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, were set alight, and the Hebrew words “Revenge” and “Long live the king messiah” were spray-painted on their walls, alongside a Star of David, overnight Thursday-Friday, apparently by Jewish extremists.

The child killed in the attack, Ali Saad Dawabsha, was 18 months old. The infant’s parents, as well as his 4-year-old brother, were all injured and evacuated to the hospital. The mother and toddler were in critical condition.

“I am shocked by this horrific, heinous act,” said Netanyahu in a statement. “This is a terror attack in every respect. The State of Israel deals forcefully with terror, regardless of who the perpetrators are.”

I'm so very sorry to the family of Ali Dawabsha. I hope these terrorists are caught soon and made an example of. This can not be allowed to happen again.

The walls outside the houses were sprayed with "Long live Messiah the king" and "Revenge ". The parents and brother were evacuated to the hospital in critical condition, with burns covering up to 70 to 90 percent of their bodies. Infant Ali Dawabsheh's funeral took place in the early afternoon, and drew a crowd estimated to be 2,000 strong.

Professor Yossi Haik, director of the intensive care burn unit at Sheba Medical Center, said the wounded were in severe condition. "The mother underwent initial stages of resuscitation and stabilization in the emergency trauma room. This is a very serious injury with 90 percent of third-degree burns all over her body. Her life is still in danger." Hayek added that the 4-year-old was had received resuscitation measures.
