A house in the Rebbe settlement in Samaria went up in flames yesterday evening (Monday), while on the ground floor there was an engagement celebration of the family member with the community member. Near 10:30 a.m., a fire started for a reason that is still unclear on the upper floor of the home, where young spouses live in a housing unit, and the home is quickly evacuated from its residents.

For more than an hour, the fire department worked on extinguishing the large fire, partly because the shingle roof of the house, which was based on wood, caught fire. At that time, the festivities continued outside the house uninterrupted, with the bride and groom's friends arriving and dancing with them in the light of the huge flames. "It was crazy, a house was burned in front of your face and the landlord was handing out drinks to people and dancing with them," the resident of the Yishuv said today.

Naama and Hanish, spokeswoman for the town of Rabba, said there were no casualties in the incident, and that the community is assisting families in dealing with the results of the fire. "Blessed are everyone who escaped on time and no one was hurt. The community cares for families. It was a surreal sight. As the fire department sprayed water and worked hard to extinguish the flames, dances were held in honor of the bride and groom.

The house is now closed by police orders until the investigation is over to find out the circumstances of the fire. At the same time, Foxbox was opened to support both families, with nothing left. "Dear residents," a message was issued in the town of Rabba. "Following the fire incident last night, we would like to warn that, according to the fire department's instructions, there is a strict prohibition on approaching or entering the courtyard and house structure.
