Israeli settler shoots a Palestinian shepherd east of Bethlehem

Today, Sunday, a settler shot a sheep shepherd in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem.

According to local sources, the security official from the “Ibi Hanahel” settlement, which is located on citizens’ lands, shot the citizen Yasser Musa Ghazal and his flock of sheep while he was in the Bir Kisan area, west of the village, without sustaining any injury.

The sources indicated that attacks on sheep herders have increased in the recent period, the most recent of which was the death of a number of sheep heads after rocks fell on them by settlers.
