Last night, around 11:00 PM, Arab individuals broke into the "Nof HaMishkan" farm near Shiloh in the Benjamin region, stealing a flock of 90 sheep. Upon discovering the theft, farm owner Avichai Suissa alerted security forces and joined them in a search operation. "They took the mothers and fled to the village. During the search, we found half the flock in a derelict compound in Talfit, and we are currently pursuing the other half," Suissa stated while trackers and local farmers assisted in the search. According to "Hatatzala Yehuda, Shomron, and Binyamin Without Borders," two separate stone-throwing incidents were reported in the same area this morning. One occurred on the road between Ofra and Givat Assaf, and the other targeted a shepherd near Giv'at Or Benjamin. These incidents follow a pattern of violence: on Saturday morning, a shepherd from Giv'at Ma'aleh Ahuvia was injured during the olive harvest and sought his own medical treatment. Later that afternoon, Arab individuals from Al-Mughayyir attacked a shepherd from Mitzpeh David farm with stones. In a related development, Israeli police arrested ten Jewish individuals this morning in a special operation, suspecting their involvement in a violent incident on Saturday that injured diplomats and a foreign journalist.
