The shooting attack at The Sheep Junction was a drive-by shooting carried out on August 21, 2023, in southern Hebron Hills by two residents of Hebron. In the attack, Bat Sheva Negri was murdered, and another civilian was seriously wounded.
Less than a day after the attack, Yamam fighters arrested Mohammed and Zakaria Shantir, brothers from Hebron. The weapon they used was also seized.
The attack
On Monday morning, August 21, 2023, 39-year-old Aryeh Gutliv from Beit Hagai drove his neighbors 40-year-old Bat Sheva Negri and her 12-year-old daughter to Kiryat Arba. When they reached "The Sheep Junction", a passing vehicle opened fire at Gutliv's car, killing Negri. Negri's daughter was unharmed in the attack, while Gutliv was seriously wounded and evacuated to Soroka Hospital.
Aftermath
On the night between Monday and Tuesday, Yamam fighters arrested the two residents of Hebron, Mohammed Akram Al-Shantir and his cousin Saker Akram Al-Shantir, after the weapon fired at Gutliv's car was found with them.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Iranians who he claims are responsible for the attack.
The Israel Security Agency also arrested their father for investigation.
About a month after the attack, the IDF decided to demolish the home of the men who carried out the attack.
