Settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in the Ramallah village of Sinjil overnight Wednesday, in an apparent revenge attack following the killing of an Israeli soldier, PA security sources said.
Settlers entered the village overnight and threw a firebomb at the home of Khaled Khalil. Five members of his family suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to a Ramallah hospital for treatment.
Settlers also sprayed graffiti on the side of a wall which read: \”Hi from Eden, revenge,\” Israeli news site Ynet said.
B\’Tselem field researcher Iyad Haddad said Rawada and Khaled Dar Khalil saw several people outside of their home in the middle of the night, with one of them pouring gasoline on their front porch.
They then lit the gasoline and drove off.
The family were trapped in the home as the front door is the only entrance and went up onto the roof. The Palestinian Authority fire department arrived forty minutes later and Israeli forces about an hour later.
