Tel Aviv, August 4 (RHC)-- In news from Israel, the Security Cabinet has approved a policy of detention without trial for citizens who are suspected of attacks against Palestinians.
The move comes after Jewish settlers firebombed a Palestinian home in the West Bank Friday, killing an 18-month-old baby. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called the arson attack a "war crime" and has vowed to bring it to the International Criminal Court.
Meanwhile, an Israeli soldier fatally shot a 17-year-old Palestinian teenager in the Gaza Strip for allegedly throwing stones near the border fence.
