The Israeli army attacked Palestinian shepherds east of the West Bank city of Tubas on Tuesday morning.

Soldiers stormed the shepherds’ huts and tents and chased them away from their land, local sources reported.

The shepherds said that the army forced some men to go to the nearby Tayasser military checkpoint by threatening to kill them and their sheep.  They were detained at the checkpoint for several hours, they added.
