🚨 Father of ten kidnapped by IDF in West Bank Concern is growing for a Palestinian shepherd from the Northern Jordan Valley village Khallet Makhul, who was detained two days ago around 8pm by two settlement security guards and soldiers while in pasture. Y.B., who is 49 years old and a father of ten, was taken about 8pm last night. This morning, the army informally confirmed that he is in custody, but his lawyer could not get any more information about his whereabouts and condition. The concern for Y.B. is that the authorities, who know him well, will use this arrest to curb his ability to live in Makhul. In several recent cases, Palestinian shepherds who are targets for settler harassment were detained, in 3 cases in administrative detention. Today we learnt that Y.B. was transferred to Salem prison, which may mean administrative detention.
