Israel arrests youths over arson of Palestinian house
Israeli authorities have arrested several youths in connection with an arson attack that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents.
The Shin Bet internal security service said it had arrested a number of youths believed to belong to a Jewish terrorist organisation.
In July, a firebomb was thrown into the Dawabsheh family’s home in the West Bank village of Duma, where four family members were asleep.
Ali Dawabsheh, a toddler, died, while his mother and father later died of their wounds. His four-year-old brother Ahmad is being treated in an Israeli hospital.
