Zionist Extremists Throw Tear Gas in Palestinian Home

Local Editor

Two tear gas canisters were thrown into a Palestinian home near Ramallah on Tuesday by Zionist extremists, but the family there at the time was not hurt.

The pre-dawn attack in the village of Beitillu came as tensions are high over the detention of the Zionist extremists for the July firebombing of a Palestinian home that killed a toddler along with his mother and father.

Graffiti written in Hebrew near the home in the village located in the occupied West Bank appeared to make reference to the suspects' detention, saying "revenge" and "hello from the prisoners of Zion."

Hours later, an AFP journalist at the scene said the smell of tear gas remained strong in the house, with a window broken where the canisters were apparently thrown.

Meanwhile, "Israeli" authorities in recent weeks have arrested a number of suspected Jewish extremists over the July 31 deadly firebombing in the West Bank village of Duma, however none of them has been charged with the crime.

At the time, the firebombing killed 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha, while both of his parents later died from severe burn wounds. Their four-year-old son was the only survivor from the immediate family.

For his part, "Israeli" War Minister Moshe Yaalon recently claimed that his entity was determined to bring those responsible to trial.

The attack drew renewed attention to Jewish extremism and accusations the Zionist entity had not done enough to prevent such violence.

Furthermore, some Jewish men from wildcat settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank and known as the "hilltop youth" were blamed for violence and vandalism targeting Palestinians, Christian holy sites and even "Israeli" military belongings.
