PA: Plans underway for funeral in Nablus; Saad Dawabsha suffered massive burns when suspected Jewish extremists set home alight

The father of the 18-month-old Palestinian baby who was killed in a firebomb attack by suspected settler extremists died Saturday morning of the wounds he sustained in the attack, his brother told al-Jazeera.

Saad Dawabsha, his wife Riham and their four-year-old son Ahmad were critically injured in the attack on their home in the West Bank village of Duma. The father was being treated at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba.

Riham and Ahmad Dawabsha are still in grave condition at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, near Tel Aviv.

Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official in the north of the West Bank, said Palestinian and Israeli authorities were trying to make arrangements to transfer Saad Dawabsha’s body for the funeral.
