Retired Brigadier General Yoel Feldshu and approximately 15 other retired officers, some holding the rank of general, visited a grazing area belonging to the Makhtesh La'David farm near the Palestinian village of Duma on Tuesday. The group, associated with the "Commanders for Israel's Security" movement, reportedly broke through a security checkpoint established by the IDF during Operation "Lion's Roar" to prevent escapes from Duma. They entered the designated grazing land, classified as Area C, which is part of the farm.

According to the farm's residents, the retired officers' arrival was part of an organized olive harvest provocation, characterized by a large number of pro-Palestinian activists and photographers, but few Palestinian harvesters. Farm personnel attempted to detain the activists and officers while calling for military assistance. During the confrontation, Feldshu and others allegedly assaulted a Jewish shepherd, stole his mobile phone, and threatened him. Farm residents claim the shepherd was also beaten with sticks.

Police arrived at the scene, and Feldshu, along with another individual from the group, was taken in for questioning. Both were later released. The incident occurred in a defined grazing area within Area C, which residents state cannot be accessed by vehicles without breaching the IDF checkpoint.
