A 20-year-old Palestinian shepherd from the West Bank village of Rantis was saved by the swift actions of Border Police officers after being bitten by a viper on Sunday night.
The shepherd, Rami Hariziat Hassan, had fallen asleep while his goats and sheep grazed, his friend, Raja Talam Va'ada, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
'Suddenly, a snake bit him on the foot. We rushed to a local checkpoint and asked the soldiers for help. They really helped us,' Va'ada added."
