The mother of an 18-month-old Palestinian baby burned to death in an arson attack in the occupied West Bank, has herself died from injuries.
Reham Dawabsheh, 26, who died on Sunday night in an Israeli hospital, had suffered third-degree burns to at least 80 percent of her body in the July 31 firebombing.

Israeli settlers are accused of throwing flammable liquids and Molotov cocktails inside two homes in the village of Duma in that incident.
Saad, Dawabsheh’s husband, died from his injuries eight days after the attack while four-year-old Ali, another son of the couple, is still in hospital.
Several suspects have been arrested after the Dawabsheh family’s home was targeted, killing Ali Dawabsheh, Reham’s toddler son, and prompting anger among the Palestinian community.
“Reham Dawabsheh died in the night,” a spokesperson for the Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv said, where she was admitted with burns covering 80 percent of her body.
Anwar Dawabsheh, a family member, confirmed he had been informed of Reham’s death and said the funeral would be held on Monday in Duma.
