Far right groups held demonstrations across Israel this week after three minors were arrested on suspicion of “Jewish terror” in an attack that killed a Palestinian woman in the West Bank.

Aisha Mohammed Rabi, 47, was killed in October near the Tapuach Junction, south of Nablus, when a stone thrown from the side of the road hit her head after smashing through her car’s window.

Her husband, who was driving, reported seeing several youngsters throwing stones while they were travelling through an area controlled by nearby settlements.

Israeli police and the Shin Bet security service believe the attack may have been carried out by Jewish settlers.
