Several Palestinians attacked two Israeli civilians on Sunday, hurled rocks at them, and stole their flock of sheep on the outskirts of an Arab village near Ramallah, the IDF said.

The two Israelis were lightly hurt and evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment, the military told JNS.

Upon receiving the report of the attack, Israeli forces were dispatched to the scene near Dayr Jarir to disperse the confrontation.

Subsequently, several Israeli civilians entered the Arab village in search of the stolen flock and were escorted out by the Israeli security personnel.

The forces recovered the stolen flock from the Palestinians.

The United States is “shutting down the financial infrastructure that allows the regime to continue its threats to U.S. national security and global shipping,” the U.S. treasury secretary said.
“The American people are crying out for an end to U.S. tax dollars subsidizing Israel’s military,” Rep. Greg Casar, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told colleagues.
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesman told JNS that the administration “acted well within its statutory and constitutional authority” in Khalil’s case, “as it does with any alien who advocates for violence, glorifies and supports terrorists, harasses Jews and damages property.”
“The Strait of Hormuz is open to all ship traffic except for Iran,” the U.S. president wrote.
The amendment “would restrict our country’s ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” the House minority leader said.
“We are prepared for any scenario,” the prime minister assured.
