Shepherd attacked by Palestinians in West Bank, gunshots fired at Israeli settlement
The Binyamin Regional Council noted that both forms of attacks are becoming more common despite rarely receiving public attention.
Over the weekend, two separate attacks occurred in the West Bank, according to United Hatzalah, as reported by the Binyamin Regional Council Spokesperson. The first incident happened early Saturday when residents of the Psagot settlement discovered a bullet near a synagogue following reports of gunshots. A police chief from Psagot, along with IDF soldiers and police officers, responded to the scene.
The second attack involved a shepherd who was assaulted by a group of approximately 30 masked Palestinians around 8:00 p.m. The attackers subsequently engaged in riots and established multiple roadblocks in the area. The Binyamin Regional Council highlighted that such attacks are becoming increasingly frequent, despite receiving comparatively little public attention.
The council emphasized that the prominence of extreme events while overlooking ongoing Arab terrorism presents an incomplete picture of the security situation in Benjamin, Judea, and Samaria.
