Israel arrests man after West Bank arson that killed toddler

Tensions are still tense in Palestine over the death of an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler in an arson attack suspected to be carried out by Jewish extremists on Friday.

This is the first time Israel placed an Israeli under administrative detention since it launched a crackdown on Jewish militants following a pair of deadly attacks last week.

According to Israel’s security agency, Ettinger was arrested for “involvement in an extremist Jewish organization”.

The company wouldn’t say if he’s additionally suspected within the July 31 arson assault, however it has accused Ettinger of heading an extremist motion in search of to result in spiritual “redemption” by means of assaults on Christian websites and Palestinian houses.

Ettinger, in a large skullcap, scruffy beard and sidelocks, smiled at the swarm of news crews before his hearing.

Mr Ettinger then took this fanaticism a step further than his peers and established himself as leader of a handful of like-minded youths by penning a tract called The Rebellion in 2013, in which he appeared to call for violent overthrow of the Israeli state.

The Shin Bet could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday.

The security cabinet would seek to advance legislation that would fight terrorist acts of Jewish extremists and establish a ministerial committee to be headed by Defensce Minister Moshe Yaalon in order to come up with solutions to prevent such attacks from happening in the future.

B’Tselem, a group which campaigns against human-rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, claims that in June some 370 Palestinians were being held without trial in Israeli prisons.

The Palestinians accuse Israel of not doing enough to protect them from extremist Jewish settlers. “I wish to clarify that there is no law above the country’s laws”, Netanyahu said Tuesday. They embrace violence and reject the rule of law.

In a blog post, Ettinger denied the Shin Bet’s accusation that he leads an extremist organization.

On Friday, arsonists set fire to two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma in the West Bank, burning a toddler alive.

Israeli police say Ettinger will be remanded into their custody Tuesday following his arrest Monday. “In fact, what is best than the primary most needed goal?”

Authorities stated final week they’ve filed indictments towards two different younger Israeli extremists and arrested three others in reference to the church arson assault.

A month earlier than the assault on the church, Ettinger referred to as on his weblog for extra assaults on Christian spiritual websites.
