Farmers report more boar attacks in Salfit
Ma'an -- An elderly farmer sustained moderate wounds on Friday after a boar attacked him at his olive grove in the village of Nazlat Zeid, southwest of Jenin.Officials at the Khalil Suleiman Hospital in the northern West Bank district identified the farmer as 75-year-old Mustafa Zeid Al-Kilani. After the incident, the head of Palestine's Agriculture Workers Union warned farmers about the wild animals, about which locals continuously complain to the Palestinian Authority. Hundreds of boars have been spotted roaming fields and have caused severe injuries, according to the union, which cited the case of a child who "narrowly escaped death" just days earlier.
