The Palestinian response to the terrorist acts committed by Israeli settlers will be soon, The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said in a statement on Friday.

PIJ condemned the heinous crime perpetrated by Israeli settlers in Nablus and resulted in killing a Palestinian baby after he was burnt.

In its statement, PIJ said such crimes committed by the settlers came with support and protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

It came amid systematic escalation by the Israeli government, which announced plans to build more settlements.

The Palestinian resistance will not surrender to such terrorism and those incite for killing Palestinians, as it would defend its people in Al-Quds and the West Bank.

On Friday morning, extremist Israeli settlers torched two homes in Duma village near Nablus, killing an 18-month-old baby and severely wounding his family.
