A flock stolen overnight from the Nof HaMishkan farm, near Shiloh in the Binyamin region of Samaria, was located in a nearby Palestinian village, the Judea and Samaria Situation Room said on Monday.

The platform, which is run by the Yesha Council umbrella group of Jewish communities, posted a picture it said showed the flock after it was found in Talfit.

According to TPS-IL, Palestinians broke into the Jewish farming outpost at around 11 p.m. on Sunday and stole 90 sheep.

Farm owner Avichai Suissa alerted security forces and joined the search, TPS-IL reported. He said half the flock was found in an abandoned compound in Taybeh.

There were no indications at the scene of the 19th Arrondissement incident that it was an antisemitic attack, a leader of French Jews said.
The compound will house an IDF recruitment office and museum, Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King said.
