JERICHO, Tuesday, June 27, 2023 (WAFA) – Three Palestinian shepherds, including a child, were injured today in an attack by Israeli settlers northwest of the ancient city of Jericho, in the east of the West Bank.
Hasan Mleihat, an activist with the Bedouin community, said settlers chased the shepherds while they were grazing their sheep in al-Mleihat community, threatened them at gunpoint, and forced them to leave the pastures.
He said two men and a 10-year-old child were injured in the attack.
Settlers regularly attack shepherds in the pastures and force them to leave the area, which they claim to have control over.
