Israel Charges 2 over West Bank Arson; 2 Killed in Tel Aviv Shooting

HeadlineJan 04, 2016

In Israel, authorities have filed murder charges against two Israeli citizens over an arson attack that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents in the occupied West Bank in July. The suspects are 21-year-old Amiram Ben-Uliel, who was raised in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, and a minor who was not publicly named. Israeli authorities have been criticized for taking months to charge anyone for the attacks. Meanwhile, Israel has launched a security crackdown in Arab areas after an Israeli Arab allegedly opened fire outside a bar in Tel Aviv Friday, killing two people.
