Terrorism escalates: A day after the arson of the lookout in memory of a fallen soldier in Evyatar, Arabs attempted to set fire to the Al-Nawa farm near Harmesh in northern Samaria this evening (Wednesday). Local residents chased them and caught several Arab children on suspicion of arson. They were released afterwards.
"The police won't do anything, neither will the army."
"We saw smoke in the fields of the farm." "Located within a pine forest, we saw smoke rising at the edge of the farm," says Bat-El, who established the farm together with her husband Nadav about five years ago. "Nadav, along with another soldier from the Givati Brigade, jumped in there and started putting it out." A large area burned. Mainly grass. Some trees too.
After they extinguished the fire, they heard shouts and curses in Arabic. They went towards the shouts and saw a group of young boys from the village of Kafin who had started the fire.
"The police won't do anything about it, we also informed the army but since they are kids, they won't do anything about it," says Bat El.
"We have a lovely place for weddings, you're welcome to come to us."
According to her, "The problem with arson is that it's very easy to do, the fire spreads quickly, that's why it happens so often." "They don't need to get close to the farm, it's impossible to prevent it, it's unavoidable."
Bat El sends a message of encouragement: "They can continue to burn, but we will continue to protect the land and develop in the place. I invite anyone who wants a well-maintained place in nature to get married, to come to us, we have a lovely place for events."
Last night, Arabs arrived at the lookout near the settlement of Evyatar in Samaria, which was built in memory of a fallen soldier, and set fire to the wooden pavilion there. Afterward, they fled on foot to the nearby Arab village.
The police later reported: "A short while ago, a report was received by the police about a wooden structure that was set on fire in a lookout near the settlement of Evyatar in Samaria." There were no casualties in the incident, but the structure was damaged.
"Police and military forces arrived at the scene and began investigating and collecting evidence from the site," it was reported in a statement.
Arabs set fire to a lookout point in the settlement of Evyatar.
The police have opened an investigation into the suspected arson of a lookout point in the settlement of Evyatar on nationalist grounds. Arabs set fire to the lookout near the settlement. In the area of Jericho, a state of alert was declared due to fears of an infiltration into the settlement.
Meanwhile, in the settlement of Vered Jericho in the Jordan Valley, a warning was issued about a potential infiltration by terrorists (Night Owl 3), after a digging was found under the settlement's fence. There are no indications of an infiltration, but security forces are conducting searches to definitively rule out the entry of terrorists into the settlement.
