The spring, named after Yehuda Shmuel Sherman who was killed in a terror attack three months ago, was found vandalized this morning. The vandals caused heavy damage, defaced the structure with erased Stars of David and obscene drawings, according to reports from the area.
The Shomron (Samaria) region saw a new incident of Palestinian vandalism overnight, as the newly inaugurated Ma'ayan Yehuda spring was destroyed and defaced. The spring, located near the Havat Shova Israel farm, was named after Yehuda Shmuel Sherman, who was killed in a terror attack in Humush three months ago. His brother Daniel Sherman discovered the damage this morning, reporting extensive destruction and vandalism including the erasure of Stars of David and the painting of obscene images.
The spring had been inaugurated only about a month ago and had become a popular spot for residents and hikers. The incident is the latest in a series of tensions in the area, with settler infrastructure often targeted by Palestinian activists. No group has claimed responsibility, and Israeli security forces have not yet commented on the incident.
