Police opened an investigation last night (Friday) after receiving a report at Hotline 100 regarding a fire in Benjamin’s tomb. Kfar Saba police officers conducted on-site searches along with collecting forensic findings and summoning a fire investigator. “The background and circumstances of the investigation,” the police said yesterday.
Nabi Yemin is a site considered the tomb of Binyamin Ben Yaakov located in the east of Kfar Saba near Moshav Neve Yemin. There is currently a yeshiva in the complex and many worshipers come to the place throughout the year.
As you may recall, last month Yosef’s tomb was twice vandalized by Palestinian rioters. The rioters set fire to the rooms of the compound, broke the tombstone on the grave, damaged the chandelier, smashed the water tank and broke the electrical cabinet on the spot. A day later, another documentary was uploaded in which a Palestinian rioter was seen contemptuous of the place and throwing stones inside.
Two days after the second vandalism, the construction team of the Samaria Council entered the tomb complex together with the head of the council and accompanied by the Samaria Brigade, in favor of renovating the place. At the beginning of the movement of forces towards the tomb, Col. Roi Zweig, Brigadier General of Samaria, gave the order to leave in connection with the fighters.
“A warrior station, here’s a vertex, today we are embarking on an operation to repair the destruction of the tomb of Joseph. Instead, the land was promised to our ancestor Abraham, as it is said, ‘To your seed I will give this land. For three days the scripture says, “Actually this day”! Not as thieves in the night, but as sons of kings! And thus we are privileged to restore the honor of the land and the people of Israel.
Brigadier General Shomron, at the beginning of the movement to Yosef’s grave in Nablus: “Today we are embarking on an operation to repair Yosef’s grave. Instead, the land was promised to our ancestor Abraham, as it is said, ‘To your seed I will give this land’ and we are working today, with a high hand. Like our ancestors that on their departure from Egypt on Passover the scripture says ‘actually this day’. Not as thieves in the night, but as kings. ” pic.twitter.com/rajwH3k09S
