Washington County Sheriff's deputies received more reports of Walmart trucks hit by bullets late Monday on Highway 75.

Undersheriff Steve Johnson says several trucks arrived at the Walmart distribution center near Ochelata early Tuesday with bullet holes.

They don’t scare me. We are Israelis. We are Israelis. We are resilient, we fight back.”

“We are used to these bastards,” he added. “We are used to these kinds of attacks, that they hate us just for what we are. They don’t know us, they don’t know anything about us, and they do that. You know, I don’t care if I was an Arab or not, because I am an Israeli, and if you don’t like Israelis you don’t like me.”…
