Arutz Sheva and Yedioth Aharonot
18 homes were completely burned and 30 others were severely damaged during an arson terror attack on Friday night in the Samarian town of Neve Tzuf, built in a forest area. Dozens of private cars were also destroyed.
Eleven people, including two soldiers and two firefighters, were lightly injured from smoke inhalation. Two people were transferred to hospitals.
The arsonists threw Molotov cocktails at the outer row of houses.
One of those families were the Reismans who received a knock on the door soon after their concluded their Shabbos meal on Friday night. They were instructed to evacuate immediately.
They had 15 families over for Shabbos to celebrate their son’s Bar Mitzvah and were in disarray. “We left all the food and clothes and left,” the mother told the newspaper.
But the entire neighboring village of Ateret came together to help them.
The Reismans and their guests were put up in homes and given beds and clothing. The neighbors even collected candies to throw on the Bar Mitzvah boy when he was called for the Torah the next morning.
“This was a Shabbos that I’ll never forget,” the 13-year-old said.
It was ARSON.
Three “Palestinians” threw Molotov cocktails at homes in Neve Tzuf.
Please change the title, because the word “wildfires” feeds the Arab propaganda and is misleading.
It was arson. NOT a wildfire.
200 major fires and thousands of small fires. Over 60000 people evacuated. 12 arrested for arson.
