The Associated Press, Jerusalem Sunday, 20 March 2016
A Palestinian home near the site of an arson attack that killed three Palestinians last year caught fire early Sunday, Israeli and Palestinian officials said, with immediate suspicion falling on Jewish extremists.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said an investigation was underway into the fire in the West Bank village of Duma. Palestinian officials say attackers broke the bedroom window of Ibrahim Dawabsheh's home and set the house on fire. Dawabsheh and his wife escaped. He was unharmed but his wife suffered light smoke inhalation.
Dawabsheh, a relative of last year's victims, is a key witness to the attack that killed them and is currently testifying before an Israeli court in the trial of two Jewish extremists.
Last July, suspected Jewish settlers hurled firebombs into a home, killing 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh. His mother, Riham, and father, Saad, later died of their wounds. Ali's 4-year-old brother Ahmad survived.
