Two settlers of the West Bank settlement of Nokdim were sentenced Monday to jail terms of seven and eight months for an attack on Palestinian shepherds nearly three years ago.
In February 2004, Dan Halmish and his brother, Yithak Halmish, set out along with the head of security for the Sde Bar settlement outpost, Baruch Feldbaum, in order to help him disperse Palestinian shepherds who were situated nearby along with their herd. When the Palestinians refused to leave, Dan Halmish began punching one of them, while his brother knocked another one down with his gun. The brothers` dog also attacked the shepherds.
The two brothers subsequently fired several shots in the vicinity of the shepherds` feet, and four of the Palestinians were wounded by ricochets.
