Israeli authorities on Monday night arrested two Arabs — one adult and one minor — suspected of involvement in Friday’s lynch attempt against a Jewish shepherd by Arabs from the village of Burqa.

During the Aug. 4 incident, hundreds of Arabs from Burqa confronted Yehiel Indore, a 28-year-old Jewish shepherd grazing his flock nearly a kilometer away from the Arab village. Indore fired a warning shot but was surrounded, and only shot to kill after he was struck in the head by a rock, which split open his skull.

One Arab from the lynch mob was killed.

The clash continued as Jews arrived to protect Indore.
