| Palestinian baby killed in West Bank "price tag" attack |
| 2015-07-31 |
| A toddler was killed and three other members of his family were severely injured in a suspected "price tag" attack that took place early Friday morning in the village of Duma in the northern area of the West Bank, outside the city of Nablus. Another girl, who was in their home at the time was lightly injured from smoke inhalation, according to the IDF, which views the incident as a terror attack. A little before 4 am, two masked men reached two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, broke windows, and hurled Molotov cocktails inside. Both homes caught fire. One building was empty at the time, but the second had a family inside, and the flames spread, killing a one-and-a-half year-old baby, Ali Dawasha. His four-year old brother and both his parents were injured. The baby's mother sustained 70 percent burns. Mind you, whenever such things were reported in the past---it, usually, turned out to be Arab on Arab action. However, if not, so what? |

| #3 Being part of or suspected as being part of the price tag policy (Hebrew: ×ž×“×™× ×™×•×ª תג מחיר). This policy refers to acts of random violence aimed at the Palestinian population and Israeli security forces[1] by radical Israeli settlers, who, according to the The New York Times, "exact a price from local Palestinians or from the Israeli security forces for any action taken against their settlement enterprise".[2][3][4] The Wall Street Journal states that the term refers to "a campaign of retribution by fundamentalist Israeli youths against Palestinians in the West Bank".[5] Over the period from January 2012 to June 2013, Israeli police registered 788 cases |
