Jewish settlers retaliate for Palestinian terrorist attack

A Palestinian terrorist set fire to a house and stabbed a 9-year-old Jewish boy who tried to stop him in the extremely militant settlement of Yitzhar. Unlike other Jewish villagers who usually take terrorist attacks for granted and sheepishly refrain from retaliation, the Yitzhar pioneers wreaked havoc on the nearby village of Asira el-Kabalya. The Arabs hurled stones at Jewish avengers. Israeli troops protected the Palestinian terrorist supporters.
