Palestinian toddler killed in 'Jewish settler' arson attack | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A Palestinian toddler has been burned to death in an arson attack by suspected Jewish settlers in the West Bank, Israeli police say. | |
The home where the 18-month-old boy and his family were sleeping was set on fire in the village of Kfar Douma near Nablus, local officials say. | |
The parents and the child's older brother were severely injured. | |
The attackers reportedly left graffiti near the house reading "revenge" in Hebrew. | |
Eyewitnesses say the house was firebombed. The father was able to rescue his wife and the older son, but not the toddler. | |
Another house was also damaged by the fire. | |
"This is a suspected attack with nationalist motives," Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said. |
