Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian shepherd from Madma village, to the south of Nablus, near Yitzhar settlement on Saturday.

Quds Press quoted Ehab Al-Qut, the Madma municipality chairman, as saying that a number of Yitzhar settlers and guards assaulted Mamun Nassar, 38, about two kilometers away from the settlement.

He said that Nassar was the target of 20 similar attacks at the hands of those settlers for rearing his sheep in the village’s land that is near the settlement and which the settlers try to seize. The settlers terrorize farmers and shepherds against farming the land or letting their sheep graze in it.
