Arabs broke into the Tzur Levavi farm in the Binyamin region early Wednesday and stole a flock of 120 sheep.
The thieves fled the scene by vehicle. Immediately after the incident was discovered, security forces began extensive searches in the area in an attempt to locate the flock and the suspects.
After several hours of searching, the stolen sheep were located inside the village of Jaljulia and returned to the farmers.
The recovery was made possible through the combined efforts of security forces and civilian volunteers who operated in full cooperation.
Security forces were able to identify the entire flock, although the thieves had split the sheep into different groups.
The identification was based on prior markings on the animals, despite attempts by the thieves to conceal the flock in various ways that caused harm to the sheep.
