Illegal Israeli settlers torched a Palestinian home while children were inside sleeping.

Palestinian media report that the Zionist settlers carried out the dawn attack on the home of Ahmed Awashreh in the town of Sinjil, which is located north of Ramallah. They threw Molotov cocktails.

The homeowner says he was woken by the sound of a window smashing and managed to get his four children and wife out of the house before the flames spread.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has denounced the arson attack by what it calls terrorist elements.

Illegal settlers often carry out arson attacks and paint racist graffiti on Palestinian properties in the West Bank and al-Quds under the “price tag” slogan. The price tag attacks are acts of vandalism targeting Palestinians and their property as well as Muslim holy sites.
