Two men responsible for Thursday’s firebomb attack in the West Bank were found among 12 men arrested overnight near Kalkilya, according to an Israeli security official.
The two are subject to investigation by the Israel Security Agency, the Shin Bet.
One of the men is suspected to be responsible for throwing the firebomb, the other of assisting him.
A firebomb was thrown at a private vehicle in the West Bank on Thursday near Ma’ale Shomron, leaving 11-year-old Ayala Shapira severely burned and her father more lightly injured.
The girl suffered third-degree burns over 30-40 percent of her body when the car was set ablaze and remains in serious condition, as doctors continue fighting to save her life.
Though her situation slightly improved overnight, she is still in serious condition, according to the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, the hospital where she is anesthetized.
The incident occurred east of Kalkilya in the West Bank, where the IDF launched a widescale search for the attackers and where an overnight raid led to the arrests of the 12 Palestinians.
