The members of the terror cell admitted during questioning that they planned the firebomb attacks in retaliation for the firebombing of a Palestinian home in the West Bank village of Duma.
Following the international condemnation of a deadly attack on a Palestinian family, the Israeli leader said he was “still waiting” for a similar response over terrorism directed at Jews.
A report on the attack and a rise in violence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians also has been filed with the United Nations Human Rights Council.
