A watchdog group monitoring settler violence warns that attacks on Palestinian shepherds and their flocks have become routine, describing lynchings and livestock poisoning as regular occurrences. The group argues that the public focus on settler violence is being deliberately blurred to enable further bloodshed.
A watchdog group monitoring settler violence in the West Bank has issued a stark warning, stating that attacks on Palestinian shepherds and their livestock have become a daily routine. The group describes incidents including lynchings of shepherds and the poisoning of flocks as regular occurrences. The organization argues that the public outcry over settler violence is being deliberately blurred to enable further bloodshed against shepherds. The post did not specify a particular incident or provide a named source for the warning. The Zioneer has previously reported on related incidents, including a case where settlers retrieved a stolen herd with military coordination while a herder remained in custody, and a separate warning from the Nature and Parks Authority about jackal attacks, though these are not directly linked to this specific claim.
