Israeli media has released footage showing Jewish extremists calling for the killing of more Palestinians while cheering a firebomb attack that claimed the lives of three Palestinians last summer.

The footage was aired during an Israeli Channel 10 report on Wednesday and shows young men dancing with guns and knives at a wedding, Haaretz reported.

One of the men can be seen stabbing a picture of murdered Palestinian toddler Ali Dawabsha, who was burnt to death when Israeli settlers set his home on fire.

Another man can be seen in the video brandishing a knife in one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other.

The video was recorded during a wedding ceremony of an Israeli couple, who are reportedly friends with the suspects in the murder of the Dawabsha family.

The report also said that Israeli military-issued rifles were passed around the ceremony, even to young children.

On July 31, Israeli settlers firebombed two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, and killed the 18-month-old toddler and severely injured his parents, who later succumbed to their wounds.
