Telephone report from M. 

Yesterday, Wednesday, May 6, a group of settlers from Halamish settlement came down to the village which is near the settlement of Beit Imrin.  On their way, they came upon a shepherd, attacked him and began to beat him.  They stole the flock and went back where they came from!  Meanwhile, people who were working in the area arrived and called the army.  The soldiers arrived and got the flock back.  The men called an ambulance which picked up the shepherd, who was in crticial condition. He had 3 breaks in his right leg. 

There was a similar attack 4 days ago, on Sunday, May 4th the settlers from Itzhar took over more land near the settlement and started to work it.  When this became unbearable, the owners of the land got together and attacked the head of the local council and other members and demanded that they find a solution to their problems. They decided to go and push out the settlers on their own.  More and more people joined them, including the head of the Local Council, and they arrived at that place and kicked out the settlers.  But the problem remains that they don't have a tabu registration for these lands, so they are helpless.  It is only a temporary solution;  the settlers will return.

Yesterday, I called G., who owns the house nearest Givat Ronen.  He reported that practically every day the setlers come down toward them and throw stones.  Two days ago, a woman was outside hanging laundry and a stone almost hit her in the leg.
