Several Palestinians, including infant, treated for smoke inhalation after reported settler arson attack
Seven Palestinians, including an infant, were treated for smoke inhalation after settlers torched a home in the northern West Bank village of Beit Imrin, the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service says.
One of the Palestinians was also treated for burn wounds, the Red Crescent adds.
Residents managed to put out the fire before it engulfed the entire home, but two vehicles were also torched in the settler attack, the Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news site says.
No settlers were arrested for the attack, with the prosecution of Israelis rare in such cases, which take place on a daily basis.
Another HORRIFIC night in the West Bank.
Dozens of Israeli settlers set a Palestinian home on fire in the village of Beit Imrin, surrounding the house to prevent the family from escaping, then hurling rocks as it burned.
