On Saturday, 28 March, shepherds from Tuwani and nearby
villages responded to recent harassment by gathering peacefully with
their families to graze sheep in Khoruba valley. Four settlers, two
with their faces covered, walked from Havat Ma'on into the flocks and
among the shepherds and their children. Palestinian shepherds sat down
and refused to remove their sheep from the area. Israeli soldiers,
police, and border police arrived but did nothing to protect the rights
of the Palestinian landowners. There were no arrests and both settlers
and Palestinians left after about three hours.
