The army is on high alert in the West Bank ahead of the funeral of firebombing victim Riham Dawabsha.
Dozens of Palestinians hurl stones at Israeli cars near the village of Duma, according to the Ynet news website. The army responds with riot dispersal means.
Dawabsha, a teacher who turned 27 on Sunday, died overnight at a hospital in Tel Aviv, where she was being treated for severe burns she sustained in the July 31 arson attack in Duma.
The attack by suspected Jewish extremists also killed her 18-month-old son, Ali Saad Dawabsha, who died on the night of the attack, and her husband, Saad, who succumbed to his wounds in early August.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
