Retired Brigadier General Yoel Feldshu and another individual were detained on suspicion of confronting settlers in the Palestinian village of Duma, near Nablus. Police stated they received a report of a "shepherd being attacked" in the area. However, the movement "Commanders for Israel's Security" claimed that a group of former senior security officials had arrived to participate in the olive harvest in Duma. According to the movement, during the harvest, "Jewish terrorists" arrived and attacked Arab women. Members of the group intervened to protect the women and prevent the attack. Instead of apprehending the assailants, the forces detained Feldshu and the other activist. The movement asserted that the detained individuals were acting to prevent an attack, not to initiate one.
