A group of Israeli settlers attacked on Tuesday afternoon a Palestinian shepherd as he was herding his flock of sheep in an open field in al-Farisiya village in the northern Jordan Valley.
Local sources identified the attacked shepherd as Barakat Ali Daraghmeh and confirmed that he was transferred to a nearby hospital in Tubas to receive medical treatment.
Also in the Jordan Valley Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian resident of Umm Jamal village only one day after his brother’s detention.
On the other hand Israeli forces ordered 50 Palestinian Bedouin families to leave their homes in the Jordan Valley ahead of a new military drill for the second such move in one week.
