A Jewish shepherd was attacked by a group of Arab rioters on a farm in eastern Binyamin (Samaria) on Thursday evening, according to initial reports. The assailants reportedly stole dozens of sheep and injured the shepherd with a large stone, leaving him with a head injury. He was evacuated for medical treatment. No arrests have been reported.
The incident is the latest in a string of attacks on shepherds and farms in Judea and Samaria that The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks. These include a farm theft and assault near Tapuah in early June, a stone attack on a shepherd near Ofra in mid-June, and a club-and-stone attack in Gush Etzion in late June. The pattern of violence has raised concerns among residents and security officials.
