Palestinian journalists: Arson attack target involved in burning Dawabsha family home

A group of Palestinian journalists has released a statement claiming that an unnamed student, who they said had attended school at the site attacked in what was thought to be an arson attack on the Joseph's Tomb holy site this morning, was involved in the burning of the Dawabsha family home in the village of Duma near Nablus on 31 July. These claims could not be verified.
