NABLUS, May 10, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers on Tuesday stole three sheep belonging to a Palestinian shepherd near the village of Aqraba, south of Nablus in the West Bank, according to local sources.

Witnesses told WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers broke into the area and stole three sheep belonging to a local Palestinian shepherd, before they fled the scene.

To be noted, B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, says that “Israeli civilians have perpetrated various forms of violence against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, damaging their lands, their persons and their property.”

It explained, “In recent years, settlers have carried out violent acts under the slogan “price tag.” These are acts of violence aimed at the Palestinian population and Israeli security forces.”

B‘Tselem has documented many such acts including the blocking of roads, throwing stones at cars and houses, making incursions into Palestinian villages and land, torching fields, uprooting trees, and other damage to property.
