Palestinian Toddler Scorched to Death While Sleeping

DUMA, West Bank -- It's the tiniest grave in the village's cemetery, just big enough for a bundle nearly two feet long.

Eighteen-month-old Ali Dawabsheh burned to death after Jewish extremists attacked his family today in the Palestinian village of Duma, near Nablus. By Friday night, the Palestinian Justice Ministry autopsy report found soot inside the toddler's body, confirming he was alive when he caught fire.

Ali's uncle, Wisam Dawabsheh told ABC News the attackers approached the village in the early hours of Friday and knocked on the windows of the Dawabsheh house. The attackers then hurled molotov cocktails inside, setting fire to the house. Before fleeing, the attackers left the word "Revenge" in Hebrew spray-painted on the house, a so-called "price tag" attack.

Just hours after Ali's death, villagers were handing out posters plastered with Ali's face ahead of the funeral. The attack paralleled the killing of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir last July who was burned alive by Jewish extremists. Last year, protesters hit the streets following Abu Khdeir's murder, chanting "Intifada! Intifada!" Today, there were reports of light clashes throughout the West Bank but no widespread violence.

Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah spoke to the funeral today, as hundreds of men sat under the midday heat, crying and praying as the tiny body was laid to rest. Ali's 4-year-old brother, Ahmad and his parents, Saad, 32, and Riham, 27, remain in critical condition at a hospital in Israel.
