Palestinian assailants attempted to set fire to the Zait Farm in the Gilboa region during Shabbat. Fortunately, the fire was detected early and farm workers, aided by local residents, managed to extinguish the blaze before it reached the farm's structures. The fire was stopped approximately 200 meters from the main buildings.
The article criticizes Israeli media outlets, specifically Channel 13, for potentially misrepresenting the incident. It clarifies that leaf blowers seen in a video were used to extinguish the fire, not to start it, cautioning against reporting that settlers initiated the agricultural area fire. The author invites Channel 13, Kan, Channel 12, and Galatz to report on the attempted arson, offering photos and video footage for free use. The piece questions whether these outlets only report on events where settlers are portrayed as villains and Palestinians as victims.
