Another fire was reported during the night (Tuesday to Wednesday) of 14 Tammuz in the PA (Palestinian Authority) village of Dura. This is the same village in which members of the Darawshe family were killed, an incident that Israel is probing as a Jewish act of terror against Arabs.

PA media agencies report the fire was another attack by “settlers” who threw a firebomb into the home. There were no reports of fatalities or injuries in this case. The IDF is probing the fire to determine what really occurred.

According to Haaretz, the house targeted belongs to the Darawshe family, adding damage was significant.

The Haaretz report quotes Israel Police stating “There was no evidence of politically motivated crime at the scene, but that the background to the incident seemed to be criminal”.
