Palestinian family deaths: Israelis indicted
Police said “dozens” of suspects had been arrested over the course of the investigation, which unearthed ties between the two suspects charged and several other Jewish extremist attacks.

In the attack on July 31, three members of a Dawabsheh family, including a 18-month-old baby Ali, were killed.
The arson case has been cited as a factor in a spate of attacks by Palestinians on Israelis across Israel and the occupied West Bank.
Nevertheless, Palestinians believe the case exhibits an Israeli double standard: They say Palestinian assailants are quickly apprehended by Israeli security forces, while Jewish militants have carried out attacks for years with virtual impunity.
The firebombing was condemned across the Israeli political spectrum. The arson also touched on Palestinian fears of extremist Jewish settlers, who have attacked Palestinian property with impunity.
Israel transferred 23 Palestinian bodies on Friday to Palestinian towns and villages across the West Bank.
Palestinians cite the Duma incident as a factor in a three-month wave of attacks and clashes roiling the region, saying they are frustrated by years of unchecked settler violence.
Nearly daily Palestinian stabbings, car-rammings and shooting attacks have killed 21 Israelis and a USA citizen, raising fears of a wider escalation a decade after the last Palestinian uprising subsided.
Palestinian leaders say a younger generation sees no hope for the future living under Israeli security restrictions and with a stifled economy.
“Today is the day that the State of Israel shows that in the fight against terrorism there are no shortcuts”, Gen. Shlomi Michael said in a statement.
The attack came hours after a female Israeli soldier was shot and moderately injured by a sniper at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. “They would not have launched an investigation were it not for the global pressure on them”, he said.
