IDF Airlifts Duma Arson Victims to Israeli Hospital

A Palestinian baby was burned to death and members of his family critically injured in an arson attack on a house in a West Bank village on July 31. Authorities reportedly found the words “price tag” written in graffiti on the walls of the house. A “price tag” attack is the term used to denote reprisal attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in response to efforts to evacuate illegal West Bank settlements.

The attack was condemned as an “act of terrorism” by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
