Palestinians mourn infant killed in Israeli arson attack
RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- The funeral of a Palestinian infant killed in an Israeli arson attack took place in the Nablus village of Duma after prayers on Friday.
Several thousand people took to the streets in the Palestinian village for the funeral of the toddler, whose body was wrapped in a Palestinian flag.
Earlier on Friday, Israeli settlers smashed the windows of two homes in Duma before throwing flammable liquids and Molotov cocktails inside.
Ali Saad Dawabsha, one-and-a-half years old, was trapped inside the family's home as the fire spread and died shortly after sustaining serious burns, locals said.
His parents and four-year-old brother were left with severe burns.
The mother was in critical condition with third-degree burns covering 90 percent of her body, an Israeli doctor told public radio. The father had burns on 80 percent of his body and the son 60 percent, with all of their lives in danger.
