Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a sheep shepherd in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, and seized sheep in Masafer Bani Naim, east.

Local sources said that the Israeli forces arrested the young man, Firas Jamil Awad, after preventing him from grazing his sheep in the Sadda Al-Thalaba area in Musafer Yatta.

While the head of the Birin Village Council, Farid Burqan, indicated that the occupation forces chased the sheep herders, expelled them from their pastures, and confiscated a number of them while they were grazing in the Arqoub area in Musafer Bani Naim.

The Israeli forces and settlers attack shepherds and their sheep, steal or destroy agricultural crops, sabotage water wells, and other practices that have increased in frequency in Masafer Yatta and Bani Naim.
