Estra???

Anyone know what he's talking about?

Northern villagers report new settler vandalism

Published today 14:59 NABLUS (Ma’an) --

Residents of Qusra village in the northern West Bank said that illegal Israeli settlers were behind a series of car-tire slashings and the slaughter of two sheep in their barn overnight.

Locals told head of the village council Hani Ismail they saw at least ten [!!] settlers enter a barn in the Nabuh neighborhood early on Monday morning, and when they entered to survey the damage, two of the animals were killed.

Ismail told Ma'an that the report came less than 48 hours after residents said car tires were damaged by a group of settlers in the area.

Palestinian Authority official Ghassan Doughlas said the latest incidents were likely perpetrated by settlers from an outpost known as Estra, located southeast of the village.

Well, Qusra is not far from Shiloh, to our north-east:

But where is "Estra"?

"Estra-gone", as in Waiting for Godot.

Amazing they did nothing after seeing 10 people enter their barn. Not their usual M.O.:

Of course, the tire-slashing was part of inter-tribal/inter-family violence and the sheep slaughtering was for dinner (2 sheep - maybe there's a wedding), but it's sooooooo much easier (and believable to the western MSM) to blame the Jews and make it an "international incident", don't you know.
