The Israel Police say they have opened an investigation after Palestinian media outlets published footage of a settler on an ATV running over a flock of sheep owned by Palestinians in the area of Khirbet al-Tawil, near Nablus.
The footage shows the settler stepping off the ATV while the sheep are trapped underneath it.
Police say that “as part of the investigation, actions are being taken using all tools at the police’s disposal to clarify the circumstances of the incident.”
