• The attacker’s pistol reportedly jammed after the first shot, leading him to charge the shepherd and engage in a physical struggle.
• Magen David Adom medics found the victim conscious and evacuated him to the hospital in light condition, according to a senior paramedic.
• The IDF said forces are encircling al‑Mughayyir and other nearby villages as they conduct an active search for the assailant.
• Farmers on scene used a recently issued fortified Ranger vehicle from the Settlement Division and Ministry of Settlements, and a regional council leader renewed calls for expanded sovereignty.
