posted on: Sep 8, 2015

Thousands poured into the West Bank hamlet of Duma for a third funeral over the past five weeks, this time mourning Riham Dawabshe who died Sunday on her 27th birthday from injuries sustained during a settler arson attack on her home on July 31st. Riham’s youngest son, 18-month year old Ali Dawabshe was killed in the firebombing. Her husband Sa’ad Dawabshe, 32, died a week later on the couple’s anniversary, also from wounds inflicted during the firebombing. Although the arsonists left a graffiti tag in Hebrew indicating the killings were a nationalist crime, to date Israel has not charged anyone with the murders.

The Dawabshe family’s lone survivor is four-year old Ahmad who is hospitalized in Israel for second degree burns covering 60-percent of his body. According to No one has told Ahmad both of his parents are dead.
