A one-and-a-half year-old Palestinian baby was burned to death and three of his family members were seriously injured on Friday morning after their house was set on fire on the West Bank Village of Douma.
People who witnessed the incident said that two masked men arrived at two houses in the village. The perpetators sprayed grafiti reading ‘revenge’ and ‘long live the Messiah’ in Hebrew, and at the same time broke two windows of the homes in the village and threw two fire-bombs inside them.
Electronic Intifada reports:
Before dawn on Friday morning, Ali Dawabsha, an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler, was burned to death in an arson attack on two homes in the village of Duma in the northern occupied West Bank.
The murder of Ali Dawabsha is not the first time Israeli settlers have burned Palestinians alive.
Given the impunity Israel grants its settlers, what chance is there really that Ali’s killers will be brought to justice?
“We saw four settlers running away keeping distance between each other,” 23-year old Musallam Dawabsha, one of the villagers who tried to assist, told Ma’an News Agency. “We tried to chase them but they fled to the nearby Maaleh Efraim settlement.”
The attackers also left behind graffiti making clear their racist motives: they painted a Star of David and the words “revenge” and “Long live the Messiah King” on the walls.
Ali’s mother is now in critical condition with serious burns over 90 percent of her body. His father has burns on 80 percent and Ali’s 4-year-old brother has 60 percent burns.
