PFLP criticises burning of 2 houses in Nablus by Israeli settlers

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) slammed on Friday the burning of two houses in Nablus city by Israeli settlers, the attack which caused a Palestinian infant to be burnt to death.

In a press statement, the front held the Israeli occupation forces responsible for this unprecedented escalation.

"Such heinous attacks targeting children are part of the ongoing Israeli terrorist acts against the Palestinian people," the front said.

It further called for waging a war against Israeli settlers and settlements after Palestinian security forces failed to secure the Palestinian people, according to the statement.

An 18-month-old Palestinian infant has been burnt to death after settlers set fire to his family house in Duma village, south of Nablus city, in the occupied West Bank.

The parents of Ali Saad Dawabsheh and his four-year-old brother were also injured in the arson attack.
