Today, in the late morning hours, terrorist settler Hagai Sherra and his son attacked a Palestinian shepherd with a dog and verbal threats.

Sherra, who lives in the illegal deportation outpost "Yad Hashomer," demanded with the authority he does not have, and with the rudeness he does have, that the shepherd and the flock leave the pasture. During the confrontation, Hagai's son, who was holding the dog, latched onto the shepherd. The dog bit the shepherd. This is not the first time Sherra and his son have used their dogs for physical assault. Ten days ago, they allowed the dog to fatally injure a sheep from the same flock, which died the next day.

On January 30 of this year, Hagai Sherra and his son severely attacked a Palestinian shepherd and two of our activists. The son was identified as being involved in the attack on Palestinians and activists last night, which ended with them being evacuated to the hospital in ambulances.

Israeli settlers and soldiers opened fire on vehicles carrying Palestinian workers near the village of Umm al-Khair in Masafer Yatta this evening. As a result of the shooting, several vehicles veered off the road, and at least one Palestinian, Yusry Amy Qbeita, was killed. Numerous others were rushed to the hospital in serious condition. Rescuers on the scene were fired upon by the Israeli Army as well.

This follows an earlier incident on February 25, when Israeli settlers fired at a Palestinian worker's vehicle in the nearby area of Umm Daraj; one of the workers wounded in that shooting died of his injuries a few days later.

This reflects a growing phenomenon in which combined forces of settlers and soldiers use extreme measures to target workers traveling to their jobs, when they pose no threat.

Today's shooting occurred near Umm al-Khair, in an area located more than 7 km from the Green Line, which in recent years has undergone an accelerated process of fencing and road blockages aimed at preventing Palestinian workers from crossing into Israel (the '48 territories).

📍 Hammamat al-Maleh
Yesterday at 20:45, a group of 6–8 settlers riding ATVs attacked the residents of Hammamat al-Maleh in the northern Jordan Valley. The settlers broke into a structure and attacked two Israeli activists and an elderly Palestinian man who were on-site and attempting to hide. They broke the elderly man’s glasses and beat him until he bled. They snatched a phone from one of the activists and vandalized the car of another. The Palestinian resident required medical attention, which he received from an MDA (Magen David Adom) team that arrived at the scene.
The police also arrived, but in stark contrast to MDA, they appeared to do everything in their power to avoid acting effectively. It was only after demands from additional activists who rushed to the scene that the officers apprehended the settlers. When the attacked activists provided their testimonies, the officers did everything possible to cast doubt on them and even attempted to present the activists as the ones at fault—all this in the face of clear, fresh physical assault and property crimes. The police did not detain the settlers, nor did they attempt to search for the stolen phone, which contained footage the activist managed to film during the attack. Hammamat al-Maleh is a community where most residents have already left due to settler violence. Nevertheless, the few remaining residents have become a focal point for some of the most severe settler violence. The residents live in an ancient building belonging to the Latin Church

The world of Hagai Sharra, the violent settler from the Yad Hashomer outpost - Tivat - drives away flocks, attacks Palestinian shepherds and ZA activists and uses the army to carry out harassment and arrests.
