Israeli police arrested five Palestinians on Friday evening after a manhunt, following an attack on two shepherds near the settlement of Ma'ale T'dhar in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria. The shepherds were lightly wounded by rocks thrown at their heads, according to N12. The investigation continues.
The incident is the latest in a series of attacks on shepherds in Judea and Samaria, as documented by The Zioneer in recent weeks. On Thursday evening, a shepherd was lightly wounded in an attack by Arab rioters in the Hebron Mountains. Earlier this month, on July 9, Arab rioters attacked a shepherd and stole dozens of sheep in eastern Binyamin, leaving one man injured. On June 29, police arrested four suspects in a separate attack on shepherds in eastern Gush Etzion. The recurring pattern underscores the persistent security challenges faced by shepherds and farmers in the region, with police increasingly conducting manhunts to apprehend perpetrators.
