Smoke bomb used in vandalism attack on Palestinian home

A smoke bomb was thrown at a house in the village of Beitillu near Ramallah in a suspected price tag attack on Tuesday morning, according to reports by Israel radio.

A man, woman and a 9-month-old baby were rescued uninjured from the house.

Police forces at the scene found the word "revenge" spray painted on the side of the house.

Kasel, the father who was rescued with his family from the house, told Israel Radio, "they came to our home at 1:30 am, spray-painted our exterior walls, broke the glass, and then threw smoke bombs into the house."

"The house filled up with gas smoke - it was impossible to re-enter up until now. The neighbors came to help us escape," he said.

Kasel said he did not catch a glimpse the culprits who vandalized his home. "They threw the smoke bomb and fled, but we now have soldiers and members of the police force in our home."

This was not the first time that Kasel's home was struck. "This was not the first, or the second time," he said, "our neighbor's car was burned."

He asked that the government and security forces work to ensure that similar incidences don't occur.

"I don't inflict any damage on anyone, I want to live in peace," he said.
