Four Arabs tried to attack Ya'akov Talia near his farm house in the southern Hevron Hills several minutes ago. He shot in the air to ward them off, and several army jeeps are in the area at this time.
Two of the Arabs from two directions approached him and shouting in Arabic. Talia has received reports from intelligence officials that terrorists planned to attack him. The area has been relatively free of violence until the past several months, when leftist groups and Arabs began to take over land Talia has farmed for 10 years.
They have used the same techniques in other areas in the past, with media and police charging that the presence of Jews causes incitement.
