Itamar if you'll recall was the same place where the Fogel family was brutally murdered by an Arab terrorist.

Two Jewish shepherds from Itamar were injured on the adjacent Arnon Hill (777) on Thursday by a gang of local Arabs wielding clubs and rocks.

IDF forces were called to the scene and succeeded in dispersing the Arabs, who were still throwing stones at the shepherds.

The scalp of one shepherd was torn open, while the other sustained injuries to his hands and lower body. Both received medical treatment at the scene.

A similar attack occurred last week near Itamar when ​​Arabs from Akraba accosted local Jews.

IDF forces on Wednesday morning also stopped a would-be terrorist bomber at a checkpoint east of Shechem in northern Samaria, not far from Itamar.

A spokesperson for the IDF said the terrorist was carrying improvised explosive devices, three knives, and 50 bullets.

A Border Police bomb disposal unit was called in to dismantle the explosives.

1. Just for balance

What part of Palestine is this hill in?

Next as Israeli's are all allowed to carry weapons in areas of threat, why were these simple shepherds unarmed?

Who called the IDF? One of the shepherds or an accomplice watching for an expected attack or a some chance observer?

TBH the whole thing stinks.
