Police have begun an investigation into the attempted arson of a Palestinian home in the West Bank village of Far‘ataon 20th August. They said the investigation is examining all possible angles, including the possibility that the act was a 'price tag' attack on Palestinians by Jewish extremists. Police said no arrests have been made so far in connection with the attempted arson, which charred the entryway of a family's home. The IDF said following the attack that they had launched a search of the area to no avail, and then turned the investigation over to police. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said Tuesday it is assisting police in the investigation. Itidal Tawil and her three children were in their house in the village when unknown assailants tried to set the house on fire at 12:10 a.m. Tuesday morning. "I was watching TV and it was very noisy when my brother-in-law called me to warn us about the fire."
