Thursday, May 15, 2025, 13:56 Arabs clashed with a Jewish shepherd on his pasture land near Carmel, in the Har Hevron region this morning (Thursday). As the shepherd filmed the incident, one of the Arabs lunged at him, choked him, and picked up a rock to throw at him. However, the attacker fled when he realized that the shepherd was filming. The police detained the attacker.
Honenu Attorney Chayim Bleicher is representing the shepherd and demanding that the attacker be put on trial: “Jewish shepherds are repeatedly attacked by Arabs. This dangerous phenomenon must be treated with the full severity of the law. The incident was recorded, and the attacker was detained. We expect the law enforcement authorities to put him on trial as soon as possible.”
