September 7th, 2015: Reham Dawabsha, 27, died of burn wounds sustained on July 31st. She was burned to death along with her husband and 18 month old baby, Ali, when right-wing Israelis firebombed her family’s home. Her four-year-old son, Ahmad, was the only one to survive the attack – with third degree burns all over his body.
The attack took place at about 2:30 in the morning, in the village of Douma, in the northern part of the West Bank near the city of Nablus.
The Israeli attackers arrived in the dead of night in the village, and began by spray-painting hate slogans against Palestinians on the Dawabsha family home. They then broke a window and threw a firebomb inside, setting off the fire that killed the baby.
The graffiti, written in Hebrew, included the phrase ‘price tag’, which is a slogan used by right-wing Israeli extremists against Palestinians – the reference being that continued Palestinian existence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank would exact a price from the Israeli colonizers.
Ali’s father Sa’ad Dawabsha, and his mother Reham, 37, were also burned to death. Ali’s older brother, Ahmad, four years of age, suffered third degree burns all over his body but survived the attack.
In May 2020, nearly five years after the attack, one of the Israeli attackers was convicted of murder. The other attackers were not convicted, and still walk free.
Israel’s Lod District Court convicted Israeli settler, Amiram Ben-Uliel for his involvement in the arson attack that resulted in the death of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha.
Ben-Uliel was involved in the 2015 attack that killed Ali Dawabsha and severely burned his older brother Ahmad and both his parents, Reham and Sa’ad when the settler, with others, threw flaming Molotov cocktails into the family bedroom. Reham and Saad later died of their wounds.

September 25, 2015: Ahmad Ezzat Khatatbeh, 24, was killed by Israeli soldiers at a military roadblock, east of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Medical sources said the soldiers shot and seriously injured the young man, a week earlier, adding that he remained in a critical condition at a hospital in Nablus, until he succumbed to his wounds.
Medical sources told Ma’an News Agency that Ahmad was shot three times with live rounds in the shoulder, chest, and abdomen at the Beit Forik checkpoint last Friday.
An Israeli army spokesperson said at the time that a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an Israeli army patrol in the area, near the illegal colony of Itamar, with soldiers responding by shooting a Palestinian suspect and detaining another.
Khatatbeh’s death comes a day after hundreds of mourners marched in the funeral of 18-year-old Hadeel al-Hashlamon, who was shot dead by Israeli forces on Wednesday at a Hebron roadblock.
Hadeel’s death had followed that of another Palestinian who was killed in a village outside Hebron by an explosive device he intended to throw at a military vehicle, the army said.
Some residents provided a similar account of the man’s death, while Palestinian security officials said the man, whom they identified as Dia al-Talahmeh, 21, had been shot dead by Israeli forces.
Khatatbeh’s death Thursday brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2015 to twenty-six, according to UN documentation. The number does not include Palestinian deaths caused by Israeli settlers.

April 22, 2015: Mohammad Abu Amsha al-Atrash, 24, was killed by Israeli soldiers at a military roadblock near Nablus, in northern West Bank.
The Israeli army claimed that Mohammad approached soldiers at the roadblock and asked them for a drink of water.
The army added that Mohammad distracted the soldiers before stabbing one with a knife, before other soldiers opened fire and killed him.
Medical sources said Mohammad was shot six times and died at the scene.
Mohammed was shot six times and died at the scene. He is at least the 25th Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2015.
Mohammad and his twin brother, Mahmoud, were in the middle of building a house together. They planned to have a joint wedding and move into their newly built homes on the same day.
Mahmoud and Mohammed were born only seconds apart at a small hospital in Jenin, a city in the north of the occupied West Bank. Most of their life has been spent side-by-side.
Mahmoud and his family vehemently deny the government’s official statement.
“First, Mohammad didn’t carry a knife. I would know if he had a knife and Mohammed didn’t,” Mahmoud said adamantly.
“Second, we’ve been under occupation for 67 years in this country, we aren’t a political family, but Mohammed was a healthy guy, and I don’t know any Palestinian that would ask an Israeli soldier for a drink of water unless they were dying. Third, trying to stab a soldier at a checkpoint is a suicide mission, and that wasn’t Mohammad.”
