The start of the holy month of Ramadan in Palestine has been marked by an increase in Israeli violence and the killing of several Palestinians by the forces, with the aforementioned incident being the latest incident of Israeli aggression.
According to international media, a house was set on fire in Snejal area of Ramallah where a husband and wife and children were sleeping. Extremist Jews broke the window of the house at night and threw incendiary material inside.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has blamed Jewish terrorist elements for the arson attack on a house in the occupied West Bank. No one was injured in the incident. Ahmed Oshrieh, the owner of the house and father of four, said he woke up to the sound of a window breaking and managed to get his four children and wife out before the flames spread.
