Extremist Israeli settlers let their sheep today destroy Palestinian-owned crops near the town of Yatta, in the southern West Bank province of Hebron, according to local sources. Rateb Jabour, a local Palestinian activist, told WAFA that army-guarded Israeli settlers let their sheep graze on wheat, barley and clover planted on Palestinian-owned lands near the town, causing the owners of the lands to incur losses as a result. Jabour added that shortly before the settlers let their sheep into the Palestinian lands, the settlers physically assaulted local Palestinian residents, including the owners of the lands. Settler violence is commonplace across the occupied West Bank, and is rarely prosecuted by the occupation authorities.
