About 15 Arab rioters today (Sunday) brutally attacked Jewish shepherds with clubs and stones in a lynching attempt. The sheperds come from an agricultural farm near the settlement of Ma'ale Hever in Mount Hebron.
IDF forces and residents who rushed to the location were also attacked. Three shepherds were moderately and lightly injured and were taken to the hospital. One of the shepherds managed to contact the owner of the farm while he was defending himself from the attackers, and this triggered the owner of the farm who called the security forces to the scene. IDF soldiers and residents who came to the place were also attacked with stones.
Today's lynching joins a series of Arab attacks that have occurred almost every week in recent months against shepherds in the hills and on farms in Judea and Samaria, culminating in the murder of Binyamin Achimair 14 on Gal Yosef Binyamin's farm and the ax attack of a Jewish shepherd from Ramon Farm who was taken to the hospital in serious condition while unconscious.
