Palestinian Mother Injured in Arson Attack Dies


(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Riham Dawabsha, the mother of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha who was burned alive in an arson attack by Israeli extremists on July 31, died from her injuries late Sunday, after fighting for her life for over a month, relatives and hospital officials said.

Relatives said that Riham, 27, who suffered third degree burns to 90 percent of her body in the attack, had succumb to her injuries. Israeli media quoted hospital officials at Tel HaShomer as confirming that she had died.

Israeli settlers smashed the windows of two homes in Duma, before throwing flammable liquids and Molotov cocktails inside, killing infant Ali, who was trapped inside the house, and critically injuring the other family members. On August 8, Saad Dawabsha, the father of 18-month-old Ali, died from injuries sustained in the attack.
