Israeli settlers burn young Palestinian to death

A young Palestinian man was burned to death after a group of Israeli occupiers mercilessly beat him and then set fire to his car in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.

The charred body of the 22-year-old Palestinian man, identified as Fadi Hoosh, was found inside a car in the garbage dump of Kafr Kanna town, which lies in the northern Israeli region of Galilee, on Friday, the Hebrew-language Yedioth Ahronoth daily newspaper reported.

Palestinian witnesses said they saw a number of Israeli settlers attacking the Palestinian youth and forcing him into a car before setting it ablaze.

“After a couple of minutes, they extinguished the fire, left him inside the car, and very quickly fled the scene,” the witnesses said.

On July 31, an 18-month-old Palestinian baby boy, Ali Dawabsheh, lost his life in a large fire that broke out after extremist Israeli settlers threw firebombs and Molotov cocktails into two Palestinian houses in the town of Duma, located 25 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
