A flock of sheep stolen from an Israeli farm found in an Arab village
The sheep, stolen in the Binyamin region, were located a few hours later after searches conducted by security forces and volunteers.
A flock of sheep stolen early Wednesday morning from the Tzur Levavi farm in the Binyamin region was found a few hours later in the Arab village of Jaljulia.
According to initial reports, thieves broke into the farm before fleeing by vehicle with the animals. As soon as the theft was discovered, security forces launched extensive searches in the area in order to locate the herd and identify the suspects.
After several hours of the operation, dozens of sheep were located in Jaljulia. Their recovery was made possible thanks to cooperation between the security forces and civilian volunteers mobilized on the ground.
The Israeli forces indicated that they were able to identify the different parts of the flock, even though the thieves had separated the sheep into several groups. The identification was made possible thanks to markings already present on the animals.
According to the farm's residents, the perpetrators of the theft allegedly tried to hide the animals in various ways, which resulted in injuries to some of the sheep.
The security forces and the residents of Tzur Levavi are now organizing to safely bring the entire herd back to the farm.
