Serious incident on Mount Hebron: Tzur Natan Durani, owner of the 'Malachi Avraham' farm located near Ma'ale Hever, was attacked on Friday by dozens of Arab rioters from the village of Bani Naim - in what appeared to be a planned ambush in the pastures of the farm.
The incident began when rioters arrived at the pasture and tried to drive the farm's flock of sheep away. The shepherd who was with the flock called Durrani, who rushed to the scene and simultaneously reported the incident to security forces.
Upon arriving at the scene, the rioters pretended to be only interested in conversation, but within moments, additional rioters emerged from behind, violently attacked Durrani, and knocked him to the ground.

During the physical confrontation, Durrani tried to pull out his personal gun for self-defense, but the rioters confronted him for a long time, managed to snatch the gun from his hands, and held it cocked.
Only the arrival of IDF fighters on the scene prevented a major disaster.
When the force arrived, the rioters threw their weapons to the floor and began to confront the soldiers.
At the end of the incident, the IDF arrested five of the rioters and they were transferred to the police station for further treatment.
""We must treat this incident as an attack in every sense of the word," Durrani said after the lynching. "They came with a clear goal to harm and carry out an act of terror. There were moments when I was sure I was going to die. The IDF stopped most of the rioters who attacked me in a commendable operation, but this is not an isolated incident, but a new record in terror against shepherds in Judea and Samaria, which has seen a worrying spike in recent weeks.".
Despite the difficult event, he makes it clear that the attack will not deter the people of the farm: "This terrorism ultimately has one goal - to make us retreat and abandon the area. That will not happen. On Saturday, we went out to pasture in that area to convey a clear message: no terror will break us, and the more you try to harm and attack, we will only go on and expand with God's help and return the vast expanses of our land to Jewish hands.".
