Soldiers from Battalion 9218, Company G, reading the Book of Lamentations in Lebanon, are appealing for donations for their fellow soldier Elad, whose business 'HaMeshusha' was destroyed by a wildfire in the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, according to a message from the unit.
Reservists from Battalion 9218, Company G, currently deployed in Lebanon, have issued a public appeal for donations for their fellow soldier Elad Cohen, whose art studio 'HaMeshusha' in the Samaria community of Havat Gilad was destroyed in a massive wildfire over the weekend. In a message circulated on Thursday, the soldiers said they were reading the Book of Lamentations while in the field and called on the public to 'add love and building in place of fire and destruction.' Cohen, who owns the studio and has served hundreds of reserve days in Gaza and Lebanon, described the fire as a 'huge wildfire' that destroyed 'the business of our lives.' He also noted he faces another 90 days of reserve duty in Lebanon this summer. The appeal is part of a series of community fundraisers following the wildfire that swept through Havat Gilad on Saturday, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The soldiers' fundraising page is live.
