Settlers attack sheep farm, beat workers, and steal 150 heads in Ramallah

Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian sheep farm at dawn on Friday, assaulted two workers in it in the city of Ramallah in the center of the occupied West Bank, before stealing 150 sheep.

Local sources reported that the settlers attacked the town of Deir Dibwan east of Ramallah, stormed the farm, and assaulted two workers by beating them, before stealing a flock of 150 sheep and fleeing.

The sources indicated that the town had previously been subjected to repeated assaults by extremist settlers, including stealing sheep, burning vehicles and shops, and assaulting citizens.

About 750,000 settlers live in hundreds of settlements built on West Bank lands, including 250,000 in East Jerusalem, and they commit daily assaults against Palestinian citizens with the aim of forcibly displacing them.

In November 2025, settlers committed 621 assaults against Palestinians and their property and livelihoods in the West Bank, according to data from the Palestinian Anti-Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission (governmental).

Since the genocide war in Gaza began on October 8, 2023, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have killed at least 1,103 Palestinians, injured about 11,000, in addition to arresting more than 21,000.

Israel is also intensifying its crimes to annex the West Bank to it, especially through demolishing Palestinian homes, displacing them, and expanding settlements, according to Palestinian authorities.

Annexing the West Bank to Israel would end the possibility of implementing the two-state solution (Palestinian and Israeli), as stipulated in UN resolutions.

Israel was established in 1948 on Palestinian lands occupied by armed Zionist gangs that committed massacres and displaced hundreds of thousands of citizens, then Tel Aviv occupied the rest of the lands, and refuses to withdraw and establish a Palestinian state.
