[news] Defiant Palestinian Sheppards Face Down Settler and Army Violence

[Resist!ca]

By Aaron Lakoff | Original to Resist.ca "Dov Dribin was an Israeli settler who lived in Ma'on. Over the years, he had gained a fearful reputation with the Palestinian sheppards in his area. He must have felt it was his duty to beat, harass, or insult any Palestinian within range. Then, on one day in April, 1998, Dov took his hatred of his neighbors to the extreme.  He came across two sheppards in the field, and shot one of them in the leg with his gun. The other sheppard, fearful for his life, struggled with Dov, managed to grab his gun, and fired a lethal blow into his body. Dov's death still lingers in the air today, and is reason enough for the occupation forces to consider At-Tuwani to be dangerous."
