Israeli settlers were filmed this week torturing lambs in a Palestinian-owned pen in the southern West Bank.

A video from a security camera filmed on Monday shows nine masked men with clubs entering the yard of the Dramin family, on the outskirts of the village of Samu in the South Hebron Hills.

The video shows the settlers shattering windshields and torching harvests, as three of the men enter the sheep pen and beat lambs in front of the ewes. The security camera filmed one of the settlers throwing lambs onto the floor, throwing concrete blocks at them and beating them, as another settler hit the others. Six lambs were killed, and four others were severely injured.

Human rights activists say that at the start of the war, an illegal outpost was built near Samu and that its settlers assaulted Palestinians living nearby. The activists say that this isn't the first time that the Dramin family's house has been attacked, but this is the most serious incident. In addition to injuring the sheep, the attackers broke the house's windows and pepper-sprayed the inside. They fled when a Palestinian car arrived.

2. There has to be accountability if we want to be a civilized society. Otherwise, cruelty and evil will become normal.

While kosher slaughter (shechitah) is allowed because it is done swiftly and humanely, hunting for sport often causes prolonged suffering and death, violating both the letter and the spirit of the law. Even if the kill is quick, in which case it would not be a violation of tzaar baalei chayim, many rabbis still oppose hunting for sport because it fosters cruelty.

8. The Times of Israel said "brutal torture "

The Times of Israel:

“ The Times of Israel has obtained new footage of a settler attack earlier this week on a Palestinian hamlet in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank, with the clip showing the brutal slaughter of sheep belonging to one of the residents.

The livestock belonged to Mahmoud Drameen, who identified the masked men as local settlers in a complaint filed to Israel Police on Wednesday. The complaint also included graphic security camera footage documenting the attack, which also caught the masked men smashing the windows of his car.

Drameen said a total of 10 sheep were killed or seriously injured, and some had their eyes gouged out.”
