Footage released by journalist Zvi Yehezkeli shows the sequence of a weapon snatching incident near Susya in Judea, in which Bedouin children attacked a Jewish shepherd and snatched his weapon. Israeli security forces arrested suspects and recovered the weapon, according to the footage and reports.
Newly released footage by journalist Zvi Yehezkeli on Monday evening provides a detailed account of the weapon snatching incident near Susya in Judea. The footage shows a Bedouin individual driving away the Jewish shepherd's flock, after which the shepherd confronted him. Bedouin children then joined the altercation, attacking the shepherd and snatching his weapon. The assailants separated the rifle from its magazine and discarded both in the field. Israeli security forces — including the Shin Bet, police, and the military — launched an investigation, arrested suspects, and located the weapon, according to reports.
The incident comes amid a heightened security situation in the area. Over the weekend, an off-duty IDF soldier was attacked in the same vicinity. As The Zioneer reported, on Saturday evening a militant used a stone to wound the soldier and snatched his weapon. Israeli security forces apprehended all four suspects over the following days, with the last suspect surrendering to the Civil Administration on Monday morning. The weapon was recovered.
The footage released by Yehezkeli, who covers security affairs, confirms the details of the shepherd incident and the swift response by security forces. The investigation into both incidents continues.
