A man apparently involved in the alleged crime seemed to regard himself as religious.

The theft of livestock by Arabs is commonplace. My neighbor was put out of business in running a goats milk dairy by two thefts of the herd that made him uninsurable.

The settlers have no legal right to be where they are under International Law. They are illegally beyond Israels declared borders.
