A teenage Jewish boy was struck in the head by a stone hurled by Arab assailants at an outpost near Ofra in the Binyamin region of Samaria, and was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center requiring six staples to his head, according to Israeli media reports. The attack is the second targeting Jewish shepherds in Samaria this evening, following an earlier incident near Shavei Shomron where a shepherd was lightly wounded.
This evening, two violent attacks against Jewish civilians in Samaria were reported, the second involving a teenage boy at an outpost near Ofra (Binyamin region). The boy was struck in the head by a stone thrown by Arab assailants, requiring evacuation to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, where he received six staples to close the wound. Earlier, a Jewish shepherd was lightly wounded by Arab attackers near Shavei Shomron, close to the Palestinian village of Sebastia.
The attacks follow a background of periodic friction in the area, which The Zioneer has previously reported on. A similar incident involving a shepherd near Sebastia was documented in earlier bulletins. Both events are under investigation by Israeli security forces; no arrests have been reported as of this evening.
