Two guard dogs of the Tel Talfiot hill in Samaria died after reportedly eating poisoned bait scattered in the pastureland, according to the hill's spokesperson. The hill says the poisoning was an attack by terrorists from the nearby village of Kutsra, and that no suspects have been arrested. The incident is being treated as part of a series of livestock poisonings in the area in recent months.
Two guard dogs of the Tel Talfiot hill in Samaria died Sunday evening after eating bait that was reportedly laced with poison. The hill's spokesperson attributed the poisoning to terrorists from the nearby village of Kutsra, and said no arrests have been made. The incident comes hours after The Zioneer reported on a similar poisoning earlier today in the same pasturelands, where a goat and two dogs died after eating poisoned dates.
At 12:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that a goat and two dogs were found dead after eating poisoned dates scattered in the Tel Talfiot pasturelands, according to Hatzalah Yehuda veShomron LeLo Gvulot. The rescue organization attributed that poisoning to Arab assailants and noted a series of similar incidents since January. In a separate incident on July 7 at 09:48 Jerusalem, two sheep were poisoned at the Havot Shlisha farm in Samaria, with about 15 others showing symptoms, as The Zioneer reported.
The Zioneer has tracked a pattern of livestock poisonings in Samaria, with the rescue organization citing multiple incidents since January. The July 7 incident at Havot Shlisha was attributed to Palestinian assailants from the village of Al-Mu'ayyir. The current incident is being treated as suspected terrorism, with security forces collecting evidence.
No suspects have been arrested in the current incident, and the hill's account remains the primary source of details. The investigation is ongoing.
