An Israeli court on Monday handed a Jewish settler three life sentences for murdering a Palestinian toddler and his parents in an arson attack on their home in the occupied West Bank. Amiram Ben-Uliel was sentenced by the Lod court following his conviction in May for the 2015 killings. He was also found guilty of two counts each of attempted murder and arson, along with conspiracy to commit a hate crime. The attack, one of the most brutal acts of Jewish terror in recent years, claimed the lives of Sa'ad and Riham Dawabsha and their 18-month-old son Ali. Five-year-old Ahmed was the lone survivor of the attack. Apart from the life sentences, Ben-Uliel also got 20 additional years behind bars for injuring Ahmed and for firebombing a second, empty home. He was ordered to compensate Ahmed Dawabsha and the owner of the second home with $75,000 each. The judge wrote in the decision that Ben-Uliel "has not taken responsibility for his actions." — Agencies
