Jerusalem: Video footage of Jewish zealots mocking the death of a Palestinian baby has sparked outrage, Arab News reported.
Aired on Israel’s Channel 10 late on Wednesday, the clip showed a wedding at which one dancing celebrant stabbed a picture of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh while others waved assault rifles, knives and what appeared to be a petrol bomb.
The boy and his parents were killed when their home in the village of Duma in the occupied West Bank was set ablaze in July in an incident that was described as “Jewish terrorism”.
With Israel hinting indictments in the Duma arson may be imminent, some of the suspects’ lawyers have accused Shin Bet state security investigators of trying to exact confessions with torture, an allegation they may use to challenge criminal charges in court.
