A volunteer with the Israeli Information Center in the Occupied Territories (B’Tselem) documented on film a group of Israeli soldiers abusing a Palestinian shepherd and his sheep, after the soldiers claimed that he refused to remove his herd from the outskirts of Otniel illegal settlement, south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
The incident took place on the morning of April 2nd, when a local shepherd, identified as “Abu S.”, in his 60’s, took his flock to graze on land that belongs to Om Al-Amd village; Israeli soldiers arrived at the “scene” and ordered him away from the area, and when he refused one of the soldiers started pushing the shepherd and sheep; fifteen minutes later, the Shepherd and his herd were let go. more
