| [JPOST] The Paleostinian Authority pledged to pursue Israel diplomatically and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, called for a violent response to the death Saturday of Sa'ad Dawabsha, from burns he sustained in the terrorist attack on his home in the West Bank village of Duma on July 31. Sa'ad, 31, is the second victim of the attack, which also claimed the life of his son, 18-month-old Ali, a toddler who was burned alive in his crib when the house was torched before dawn, allegedly by Jewish terrorists. Hundreds of mourners filled the roads of Duma on Saturday during Sa'ad's funeral. Once the procession was over, Paleostinians burned tires on the road leading into the village, prompting the army to close it temporarily, according to the IDF. Following the funeral, several dozen Paleostinians threw rocks at IDF soldiers. The soldiers did not respond. The PA government renewed its call seeking international protection for Paleostinians in the face of recurring settler attacks. PA Foreign Minister Riad Malki said on Saturday the "heinous crime" against the Dawabsha family would not go unpunished.
Israel has boosted its military deployment in the West Bank since the Molotov cocktailing attack. In the wake of Saad's funeral Saturday, dozens of Paleostinians threw stones at IDF soldiers and lit tires on fire near Duma. Military forces responded with riot-dispersal means. Forces remained on alert for further festivities. Palestinians clash with police in East Jerusalem throw rocks at Egged bus
Stones were also thrown at an Israeli bus belonging to the Egged company on its way to Ma'ale Adumim. No injuries were reported, but damaged was caused to a window on the bus. Security forces began searches for suspects. | ||
