An Israeli landmine detonated, on Sunday evening, while a Palestinian shepherd was herding his live stock in the Sakout area, in the West Bank’s Northern Plains, killing five of his cows, while the shepherd escaped the explosion unharmed.
Aref Daraghma, a human rights activist, said the three cows are owned by Fayez Yousef Daraghma, and were injured in a grazing area.
Daraghma stated that many Israeli soldiers rushed to the scene and detained five Palestinian shepherds.
He added that the area has many live landmines, an issue that poses constant threats to the Palestinian shepherds and their livestock.
It is worth mentioning that the army frequently conducts live fire training, including shells and bombs, in the Northern Plains, and other areas in the West Bank, such as lands near in Hebron governorate, Tubas, Nablus, the Jordan Valley, and even in certain areas in the Negev.
Many Palestinians, including children, have been killed by these objects, and hundreds have been injured.

An explosion is seen in Gaza city after an airstrike by Israeli forces on June 2, 2018
Israeli fighter planes have carried out multiple airstrikes on a series of locations spread out through the Gaza Strip.
Late on Saturday, Israeli warplanes launched attacks on central, southern and eastern parts of the besieged enclave.
Earlier in the day, Israeli tanks also fired upon the coastal area.
The Israeli army has confirmed the attacks, claiming they were launched in response to rockets fired at the occupied territories.
The airstrikes come just a few days after two sides agreed on a ceasefire following heavy Israeli airstrikes.
Amid the flare-up in the Gaza Strip, Hamas said Palestinian resistance groups have agreed to a ceasefire in the blockaded coastal sliver as long as Israel abides by a truce.
"After the resistance succeeded in confronting the [Israeli] aggression ... there was a lot of mediation in the past hours,” Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas’ deputy chief in Gaza, said in a statement on Wednesday.
“An agreement was reached to return to the (2014) ceasefire understandings in the Gaza Strip. The resistance factions will abide by it as long as the Occupation does the same,” he added.
Tensions have been running high along the Gaza fence since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests, dubbed “The Great March of Return,” demanding the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
The Gaza clashes reached their peak on May 14, the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Nakba Day (the Day of Catastrophe), which coincided this year with the US embassy relocation from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
At least 65 Palestinians were killed and more than 2,700 others wounded as the Israeli forces used snipers, airstrikes, tank fire and tear gas to target the Gaza demonstrators on May 14.
Israel conducts regular air raids on Palestinians in Gaza under the pretext of hitting Hamas targets. The Gaza Strip has also been under an inhumane Israeli siege since 2007.
Tel Aviv has waged three wars on the coastal enclave since 2008, including the 2014 offensive, which left more than 2,200 Palestinians dead.

The army also fired three missiles into al-Yarmouk and Ein Jalut sites, in southern Gaza, in addition to firing missiles at other targets, including an observation post, east of Gaza city, and two targets in central and northern Gaza.
Furthermore, the soldiers fired two artillery shells into a site near Malka Junction, southeast of Gaza city.
There have been reports of property damage in the targeted areas, but no casualties.

The army also claimed some Palestinians attempted to breach the border fence, and hurled grenades at military infrastructures, in addition to launching burning kites setting several fields with fire.
The army also said that one if its targets was what it called Hamas naval post, in northern Gaza, and held the movement responsible for the escalation.
