Two Jewish shepherds were injured on Thursday morning after Palestinian Arabs beat them with clubs and pummeled them with large sharp rocks while they were picking olives near the Rimonim intersection in Binyamin.
One shepherd suffered a serious head injury and was knocked unconscious. Paramedics evacuated him and the second victim, who was lightly to moderately wounded, to Shaare Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, the Arab terrorists fled to the village of Dier Jarr.
An initial investigation showed that the Arabs waited in ambush for the Jews under the cover of the olive harvest.
Eliyahu Ochiyon, a resident of Kochav HaShachar, described the scene: “This was a very serious incident. When I arrived at the scene, I saw two injured shepherds, one unconscious and having convulsions.”
