ibrahim heard screams. he says he saw the two attackers standing over the parents. he went to get help and when he came back the two men were gone. >> translator: smoke was coming out of the house. i saw the child. i pulled him out. then there was a huge blast and there was no way to save the baby. >> reporter: this is the room where the 18-month-old was found dead and we spoke to the ambulance worker who removed his body, and he described what was left of the baby was like a lump of coal. he hadn't finished his milk yet. the neighbors house was also set on fire but no one was home at the time. the attackers left behind a message, it says revenge in hebrew. the parents and four-year-old brother have been taken to an israeli hospital. israel has been quick to condemn the attack.

>> the government of israel condemns this act of her her -- terrorism. >> reporter: but the palestinian president blamed the israeli government for this attack. >> translator: when the israeli government encourages settlements, they encourage flocks of settlers to do what they do every day. >> reporter: people here in the village say the same thing, that attacks happen often, but they have never had such a response. hundreds showed up for the baby's funeral. the israeli government says it will bring what it calls terrorists to justice. but not many here believe that justice will come. >> stephanie very hard to take in the horror of what you have witnessed firsthand there. but we can see the building behind you, it looks like it has

calmed down now. is there any sense that people are heeding the plea from the israeli president that this should be a time for calm and that this attack will be investigated properly? >> reporter: well there's a feeling, i think, people over the years have seen many attacks, the outcome of those sometimes less serious, and as we saw today, extremely serious, but they do have a feeling that nothing will change; that the policy of the israeli government this has been one of active settlement expansion. this area actually there are three legal outposts very close to this village, and many people have told us that these outposts are known to have settlers that are quite violent. they have been involved in violent attacks before. so even though it is unusual to hear this kind of language coming out from the israeli

government we have heard it before from several, even the leader of a pro-settler party, so a real unified stance there. but people here will tell you they don't think anything on the ground will change. of course there is a gag order on the investigation at the moment. the israeli investigation. they have said they will bring these terrorists to justice, but at the moment we have no details on that. >> that was going to be my next point. i wonder if there is any way to elaborate on it do we know if the investigation has lead to any specific directions to any of those communities that you mention? >> i can't hear you very well david. i think you are asking me about how the investigation -- we have had language from the israeli authorities that they believe that jewish extremists were behind this. there is graffiti on the

building and also the building set alight to the side where they say revenge and other graffiti mentioning the messiah, so it's very clear there was a jewish extremist element to this. the government is having a hard time controlling the the -- settlers. the high court ordered an issue to demolish two buildings built on illegal land the backlash to two buildings that were empty still at the time was very very big from the settlement community. we have heard reaction from the united states, they are calling this a terrorist attack and welcoming the language that the israeli government will do something about it. so we'll have to wait and see if

this changes anything. what people here will tell you that they don't think anything will change. >> thank you. stephanie decker there. clashes between palestinian demonstrators and israeli soldiers in hebron. hundreds of hamas supporters through stones at soldiers. they responded by firing tear gas. fears of further clashes over the killing of that palestinian baby have lead police to restrict access to the mosque in jerusalem for friday prayers. ♪ they are getting ready right now for a move of what is called debris that could belong to the missing flight mh370. airport police on the island of reunion have been prepared freight boxes believed to contain the king of the plane. malaysia says it is confident

the debris does belong to a boeing 777. it is being sent to france for verification this weekend. and charles stratford live for us near where it is all going to end up. and what will be the process once it gets to where you are? >> reporter: well david, i'm standing outside the aeronautic center here the french ministry of defense building. it's a place where a lot of crash investigations have happened before. it's one of the leading centers in europe. and they are going to be focusing on this piece of debris expected to arrive here tomorrow as you say. they are going to be looking for what they describe as serial numbers, any kind of evidence whatsoever that would confirm that this piece of metal effectively, is belonging -- or belonged to or part of a boeing 777. they are also going to be looking for what they broadly

describe as data tags. anything even from numbers that may suggest maintenance or repairs that are being done -- that were done on -- on this plane. they are also going to be looking at the fabric itself and trying to put a date on that fabric, the type of fabric it is. they are going to be looking at simple things so we have been told things like the patterns of rivets and they are also going to be looking at the barnacles that are attached to it. there's a lot of speculation as to how long this piece of debris has been floating on the surface of the ocean. oceanographers are already saying it is not by any stretch inconceivable that this may be floated some 4000 miles across from where they believe the flight came down. a lot hangs on this investigation, basically. there have been repeated

announcements made since march 2014 when the plane disappeared by the malaysians that they had evidence that the plane had gone down in a particular area. they used evidence from a french satellite that said it saw debris in a particular area. so they really need to seriously focus on this piece of debris tomorrow to try to give some sort of closure to the hundreds if not thousands of families and friends of the victims of this terrible tragedy that still there are no -- no confirmed answers as to exactly what happened on march 8th last year. >> maybe a step closer. charles stratford thank you very much for us in southern france. the inquiry into the poisoning of the former kgb agent, alexander litvinenko nine years ago has ended with damming

reasonable doubt. and if the russian state is responsible, vladimir putin is response. not on some analytical version of principals but because he personally ordered the liquidation of an enemy who was bent on exposing him and his cronies. >> reporter: alexander litvinenko was a former kgb man who fled in 2000 and became a critic of putin's agency. the evidence has focused on two russian agents the pair travelled to london more than once to meet litvinenko. scientists found a trail of radioactivity at their various hotels and meeting places. on move 1st, 2006, litvinenko met the two again, and drank the fatal dose in a coup of tea. three weeks later he was dead. one of the men received an honor

haram that has left hundreds dead recently. nigeria's military says it has managed to rescue more than 70 hostages in the last 24 hours. the president also named a new military general to lead the fight against boko haram. >> reporter: this open woodland shouldn't be much of a hideout, not when you have a large army on your tail. it's in this area that boko haram recruits enslave, rape and starve victims. there are many more crimes we don't hear about. it's happening throughout borno state in the north. soldiers have just freed these hostages women, young girls, and several elderly men are giving their testimonies. one woman says she had been held for a year and was waiting to die. she might not have been found if

nigeria's neighbors hadn't stepped in to help. foreign troops are bombing boko haram fighters along the border making it easier for nigeria soldiers to stage more raids like this one on home soil. poorly equipped army units have been outgunned and outmaneuvered for years. the new president says that is about to change. he and the former governor of borno state asked for support from cameroon this week. >> translator: we find today that the president like our president have a common enemy. >> this should really improve [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: at home bohari has sacked the headsover the army navy, and air force, and named a new general to lead a multinational force. this journalist says the new

hungary and serbia. it's a pretty safe bet that almost none of the migrants who want to cross this border have any intention of staying in hungary, but that doesn't seem to be the point for the government. hungary has ended up bottom of the resettlement list. it said it was prepared to take precisely no people. volunteers offer advice and coffee to those who have got through, like these young men who told us they fled syria. they heard of the fence, and thought it was an irrelevance. >> he want to find another way. if he cross this way, he will go another way. >> reporter: so it respondent work. >> it will not stop the people but they kill my children or my mother or my wife. i see my wife she killed or somebody kill her, i will not stay there in my country.

keep people out? while on the ground refugees are simply sent on their way for another country to deal with. >> every culture or community has its own density, and we believe europe's identity goes back to christianity either as a religion or cultural identity and this flood of migrants if i can [ inaudible ] mass migration is posing a major threat to that. >> reporter: every day the game of cat and mouse goes on. a family from iraq try to hide in the ditch. when the police arrive they are forced to scatter. dad goes over the road the boys over the bridge. will they see each other again in it isn't clear. and all the while the trees come down as the ground is prepared for hungary's great fence. it's simple message to refugees go somewhere else.
