Israel: Settlers firebomb Palestinian villages

HUNDREDS of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages with petrol bombs on Saturday night as the Israeli crackdown escalated.

The attackers, from the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, targeted the Palestinian villages of Wad al-Haseen and Wad al-Nasara, Ma’an news reported.

Another settler firebomb attack in July killed 18-month-old boy Ali Dawabsheh and his parents, leaving his brother Ahmad fighting for his life as an orphan.
