Two Jews charged over West Bank fire-bomb attack

articlemain

Two Jews have been indicted over the arson attack on a Palestinian home in the West Bank in which two parents and their one-and-a-half-year-old child were killed.

Amiram Ben-Uliel, a 21-year-old West Bank settler, has been charged with the murder of Ali Dawabsheh and his parents, Riham and Saad, while a minor has been charged with being an accessory to murder.

Both of them have also been charged with belonging to a terrorist organisation.

The indictment states that Mr Ben-Uliel carried out the attack on the house in the village of Douma, near Nablus, in retaliation for the killing of an Israeli settler last year.

The Hebrew for "revenge" and "long live the king Messiah" alongside a Star of David were spray-painted on the walls of the firebombed house.
