Yehuda and Yihuda Cohen, residents of Havat Gilad in Samaria, said their family business Tzameret — the community's largest wood center — was deliberately set on fire by terrorists during Shabbat, destroying their livelihood. They are asking the public to support their rebuilding efforts.
The Tsameret family — Yehuda and Yihuda Cohen — launched a fundraising appeal Saturday evening after their family business, Tzameret, was destroyed in the wildfire that swept through Havat Gilad last week. The brothers said the fire was a deliberate arson by terrorists, echoing the ongoing investigation by Israeli authorities, who suspect the fire was set on nationalist grounds. The business, described as 'the largest wood center in Samaria,' was a hub for settlement construction and community projects, according to the family. The wildfire, which broke out last Saturday, destroyed 30 buildings and left five people lightly injured, as The Zioneer reported. Since then, multiple families from Havat Gilad have launched fundraising campaigns to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. The Cohens' appeal joins a series of community efforts to restore the outpost, which has become a symbol of resilience in the face of continued security threats.
