Police detained three youths from Bat Ayin between the ages of 12 and 13 on Sunday for their alleged role in the firebombing of a Palestinian taxi two weeks earlier.

In the attack, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a car carrying six Palestinians in the West Bank, injuring all six, including two children.

David Halevi, the lawyer from the NGO "Honenu" that is defending the suspects, said "we are witness in recent months to dozens of detainments and investigations that have ended without (yielding) anything while violating the conditions of imprisonment for those detained."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated in the aftermath of the attack, "This is a very serious incident."
