Sheep Theft Ruins Festivities for Palestinian Shepherd
The theft left shepherd Sameeha Rasheed without livestock to sacrifice or sell, and Palestinian officials said settlers have stolen about 4,000 animals this year.
MUSAFER YATTA: Palestinian shepherd Sameeha Rasheed was planning for the sacred ritual of sacrificing her family’s sheep for the Eid Al-Adha holiday, but West Bank Jewish settlers stole them in a pre-dawn raid, she said. Instead of celebrating, Rasheed has been left with nothing and deprived of the income she would have received from selling the sheep her family did not use.
