Nablus (IINA) – A Palestinian toddler was killed and his parents and four-year-old brother were injured in an arson attack on two homes, carried out early Friday by Israeli settlers in the village of Duma, south of Nablus, in the West Bank.
"The child Ali Saad Dawabsha died after his home was targeted and burned by settlers. His father, Saad, mother, Reham and brother Ahmad also sustained a third degree burns. They were taken to hospitals in Nablus for treatment," Ghassan Douglas, a Palestinian official in charge of Settlement File in the West Bank, was quoted by Palestinian News Agency WAFA as saying.
Douglas confirmed that the settlers attacked the two houses of Saad and Mamoun Dawabsha, located on the outskirts of the village, with firebombs and flammable materials and spray-painted racist slogans in Hebrew such as “revenge”.
The Palestinian Presidency said it held the Israeli government "fully responsible” for the crime committed by the Jewish settlers.
Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that this crime would not have happened without the insistence of the Israeli government to continue settlement construction and protecting the settlers in the West Bank.
He added that this crime is a direct consequence of the international community's silence and decades of impunity given by the Israeli government to terrorist killers.
Abu Rudeineh stated that this crime will be at the forefront of the files to be submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to sue all those involved in this crime of unspeakable cruelty.
"The verbal condemnation of these crimes by the international community is no longer acceptable" he said, adding that practical steps are required to bring the criminals to accountability, and to end the occupation.
