Morning Star.png Sole Witness to Deadly Israeli Settler Arson Attack Has Own Home Burned Out James Tweedie, The Morning Star, London, 21 March 2016 The only court witness to last year's deadly firebombing of a Palestinian family had his own home burned early yesterday - with the same Israeli groups under suspicion. In a repeat of the attack by young Israeli settlers, unidentified assailants threw petrol bombs into Ibrahim Dawabsheh's home at about 2am. He and his wife were being treated for the effects of smoke inhalation at Rafidiya hospital in Nablus after their lucky escape. "The way they attacked, the type of fire bombs and the timing of the attack all indicate that it was Israeli settlers," said Palestinian official Ghassan Daghlas. The settler activity-monitor said the attack bore hallmarks of Israeli extremists from illegal West Bank settlements. Clashes between hundreds of school children and Israeli occupation troops broke out following the attack. At least 15 girls suffered tear gas inhalation and one Israeli soldier was taken away by ambulance after a thrown stone hit him in the face. Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Samri said occupation forces were investigating the incident, adding that "the motives behind the attack are not clear yet." Mr Dawabsheh was the only witness to the horrific attack on his relatives and next-door neighbours in Duma, near Nablus, on July 31 last year. Baby of 18 months Ali Dawabsheh was burned alive in his bed when attackers threw petrol bombs through his bedroom window. His four-year-old brother Ahmed, father Saad and mother Riham were severely burned in the attack. Both parents later died of their injuries while Ahmed is still recovering. Amiram ben Uliel, a 21-year-old West Bank settler, has since been charged with murder. He and other alleged accomplices are part of the "hilltop youth" gangs who set up outposts on West Bank hilltops. They have carried out numerous so-called "price tag" attacks against Palestinian civilians, Christian churches, Israeli peace campaigns and even the military over any steps to limit settlement expansion.
