Settlers attack Palestinian shepherds

Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian shepherds in the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, to try to force them from grazing lands in Khirbet al-Tawil, according to the Wafa news agency. Such attacks are frequent with settlers routinely harassing shepherds and preventing them from accessing pastures. It is part of a wider trend that has seen tens of thousands of acres of land across the occupied West Bank fall under settler control.
