Fanatic Israeli settlers assaulted a Palestinian herder today and stole a number of sheep while the latter was grazing sheep near the town of Aqraba, to the south of Nablus, according to local sources. Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official in charge of the settlement file in the Nablus province, told WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers assaulted Bassam Bani Fadl, a local Palestinian resident and herder, and beat him up while he was tending sheep in open pastures in the vicinity of the town. Daghlas added that the assaulting settlers stole 14 sheep in the aftermath of the attack. Earlier today, two Palestinian men sustained injuries after being physically attacked by extremist Israeli settlers in the town of Burqa, to the northwest of Nablus.
