Unidentified assailants at down Sunday set fire to a house in the village of Duma in the occupied West Bank, targeting the only witness of an arson attack that killed a Palestinian family last year.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told (Ma'an) that unidentified attackers threw Molotov cocktails at the house of Ibrahim Dawabsha and broke a window while he and his family were sleeping.
Daghlas added that Ibrahim Dawabsha was the only witness of the deadly arson attack carried out by Israeli settlers on the home of Saad and Riham Dawabsha in the northern West Bank village on July 30 last year.
Ahmad Dawabsha, now 5 years old, was the only survivor of the attack, which killed both his parents, Saad and Riham, as well as his 18-month-old brother, Ali.
Security sources said Ibrahim Dawabsha's home was only ten meters away from the house which was burned down last year.
The sources added that Ibrahim Dawabsha's wife was transferred to Rafidiya hospital for medical treatment after she suffered from smoke inhalation.
Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Samri said that Israeli troops and police arrived to the scene and started investigating the attack.
The attack that left young Ahmad's entire family dead brought international outcry against Israel's failure to hold Israeli settlers and extremists accountable for attacks on Palestinians, in effect being complicit in such attacks.
