Police on Sunday arrested three boys — aged 12 and 13 — on suspicion of throwing the petrol bomb that injured six Palestinians in a taxi near the West Bank settlement of Bat Ayin on August 16.
Five of the injured were members of the same Palestinian family, from nearby Nahalin. The parents, 35 and 27 years of age, suffered second-degree burns in the attack, while their three children and the driver suffered first-degree burns.

The father was burned on his face and body when he was trapped in the yellow taxi after it turned over in a ditch.
IDF troops found another firebomb at the scene of the crime. The trio of boys were suspected of planning to throw that too.
The three were brought before a Jerusalem magistrate on Sunday evening. The mother of one of the three, who all live at Bat Ayin, said her son was innocent and the allegation unfounded.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sent a letter to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas after the attack, pledging that Israel would bring the perpetrators to justice.
Netanyahu said he saw the incident as “very serious,” and was committed to finding those responsible. Netanyahu added that he would “closely follow the medical treatment received by those who were injured” and offered to extend whatever additional assistance may be necessary.
