Four Jewish shepherds were violently attacked by dozens of Arabs in pastures between the yishuvim of Ma’ale Michmash and Rimonim in Binyamin early Tuesday afternoon. The Arabs attacked the Jews with clubs and stones. “I was herding the flock of sheep near the farm and suddenly four masked Arabs ran towards me with clubs,” one shepherd said from his hospital bed. “I immediately called the other shepherds who reported to the army and ran to the scene. Within a few seconds, dozens more Arab rioters came running to the scene and just started beating me to a pulp with stones and clubs from all directions.” “There isn’t one place on my body that wasn’t hit. Another Jew who was with me was hit by a rock in the groin and the Arabs broke his finger with a club.

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, has put forth a theory positing that former President Barack Obama wields considerable influence within the Biden administration, leading some to question the extent of President Joe Biden’s leadership role. Gingrich’s remarks were delivered as part of his critique of President Biden’s actions and his observations on the treatment of former President Donald Trump following his fourth indictment last week.

Famed singer Yishai Ribo visited Chevron attack survivor Aryeh Gottleib on Monday at Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva and performed a personal concert for him. Gottlieb, a father of six, was almost murdered last week in a shooting attack as he was driving from his home in Beit Chagai, a yishuv near Chevron, with his neighbors, Batsheva Nigri, H’yd, and her 12-year-old daughter. After being shot by multiple bullets at close range, he was so sure he wasn’t going to make it that he recited Shema Yisrael and Vidui. But somehow he found the strength to continue driving and a paramedic administered initial treatment with tourniquets, stopping the profuse bleeding. The paramedic also used a knife to open his neck, saving his life.

Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich on Monday excoriated the Biden administration, accusing them of “unparalleled hypocrisy” for the State Department’s recent criticism of how Israel protects its citizens against Arab terror in Yehudah and Shomron. Smotrich’s remarks came in the wake of the State Department’s condemnation of comments by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir following the murder of Batsheva Nigri, H’yd, near Chevron. Ben-Gvir said on a Channel 12 News panel last week: “My right and that of my wife and my children to travel on the roads of Yehudah and Shomron is more important than freedom of movement for Arabs.” Addressing an Arab-Israeli journalist on the panel, he added: “Sorry Mohammad. That’s the reality, the truth.

Harrowing footage shows the moment a racecar carrying NASCAR driver Ryan Preece was struck and flipped ten times during the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. Preece, driving the No. 41 car, got tangled up with another driver, Chase Briscoe, sending Preece’s car careening off the track before going airborne. The vehicle then toppled over itself multiple times before finally settling down upright with a massive bang. Thanks to the extensive safety measures on racecars, Preece managed to climb out of the vehicle. He was quickly attended to by medical staff, who cleared him of any serious injuries, though he was transported to a hospital for evaluation. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
