Naftali Yafeh, a resident of the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, said his home and the family's craft beer business were completely destroyed in Saturday's wildfire. He and his wife Hana fled with nothing and are asking for donations to rebuild.
The Zioneer reported earlier that a wildfire swept through the Samaria community of Havat Gilad on Saturday, July 18, destroying approximately 30 buildings and injuring five people. Authorities suspect arson on nationalist grounds. In the wake of the disaster, multiple fundraising campaigns have been launched for affected families and businesses.
Naftali Yafeh, a resident of the community, said in a statement Monday that his home and the family's 'Habeer Garden' craft beer business were destroyed in the blaze. He and his wife Hana escaped with no possessions. The couple is now seeking donations to rebuild their home and livelihood.
The Yafeh family's appeal adds to a wave of community and national solidarity, with over 6 million shekels raised for the community within 24 hours, as The Zioneer reported.
