Mahmoud Dramin, a resident of the South Hebron Hills living between the villages of Susya and Samu, tells The Times of Israel that seven or eight settlers broke into his property on Monday, smashed the windows of his house and a car parked outside, and sprayed tear gas into the house.
Dramin and other family members were inside at the time but locked themselves in the house.
Security camera footage from his property shows several individuals breaking the car windows.
According to Dramin, four family members suffered mild injuries from gas inhalation, and they were evacuated to the hospital and released shortly afterward.
In addition, he says the settlers killed six of his lambs and severely wounded four others — which are unlikely to survive. Footage taken after the incident shows the dead lambs, some of which had their eyes gouged out.
Dramin tells The Times of Israel that he is currently filing a police complaint.
טרור ציוני בפאתי העיירה סמוע: שמונה מתנחלים פלשו אתמול למתחם ביתה של משפחה, ריססו גז פלפל לתוך הבית, שברו חלונות, רצחו 6 טלאים, פצעו 4 נוספים – לחלקם עקרו עיניים עם סכין, וגרמו נזקים חמורים לרכוש.
כרגיל, התוקפים חופשיים, מוכנים לבצע את התקיפה הבאה בביטחון שהרשויות תמיד שם לצידם pic.twitter.com/WmjtBtfhJ6— מחוץ לעדר (@masafering) October 28, 2025
In response to The Times of Israel’s inquiry, police said that one of the vehicles used by the attackers has been seized and the investigation is ongoing.
