The Tsameret family (Yehuda and Yihuda Cohen) of Havat Gilad in Samaria issued a new fundraising appeal Saturday evening, providing additional details about the wildfire that destroyed their wood business and other properties. The family said the fire was deliberately set by terrorists during Shabbat, destroying homes and businesses, and that Torah scrolls were saved at the last moment.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the family had launched a fundraising appeal to rebuild their business, Tzameret, described as the largest wood center in Samaria. The new appeal, posted at 23:00, includes a more detailed account of the arson.
The wildfire that swept through the community on Saturday has been a focus of national solidarity. Authorities have been investigating the fire on suspicion of arson with a nationalist motive, and similar fundraising appeals have been launched for other families affected by the fire.
