Settlers stole a number of sheep from the town of Beita south of Nablus on Friday morning, Shehab Wire reported. Local sources said the raiders attacked homes of residents in the al-Dhahira area while protected by Israeli occupation soldiers who accompanied them during the operation.
The incident marks another episode in a pattern of livestock theft and property damage that has plagued Palestinian communities in the northern West Bank. Residents of Beita have endured repeated attacks on their herds and agricultural holdings, with settlers often operating under military escort. The town has become a flashpoint for such incidents in recent months.
