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.

“This political environment could discourage congressional committee staff and federal agency personnel from pursuing investigations or enforcement actions involving antisemitism,” Karen Paikin Barall of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
“They get social credit within their political bases in terms of talking about settler violence and and taking up the side of the Palestinians on issues between them and Israel,” Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute told JNS.
The U.S. envoy also said antisemitism “didn’t exist” during his upbringing and warned of an unintended clash between Israel and Turkey.
“There is not, and there will not be, a Palestinian state,” the Israeli prime minister pledged. He also called for the corruption trial against him to be dropped.
