Majdal Shams

A woman in her 60s died Sunday morning in a house fire in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in the northern Golan Heights. Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

Prosecutors filed an indictment in Nazareth against 51-year-old Majdal Shams resident Ravii Ben-Zivah. Investigators allege he attacked community police officer Nida Daer with a Bobcat during an attempt to recover a stolen phone.

The Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) and the Majdal Shams Council have signed a cooperation agreement to expand access to advanced health services. The initiative includes the implementation of telemedicine and the establishment of a dedicated rehabilitation center in the town.

Two years after the tragedy at the soccer field that claimed the lives of 12 children, a memorial site was inaugurated, combining the rocket crater and a preserved wall. Architect Zvika Pasternak noted that visitors will be forced to bow their heads in memory of the victims.

The task force will promote national programs for the Druze community as well as future strategic moves for the benefit of the Druze community and the State of Israel. Chaim Tayeb, president and founder of the Tayeb Foundation: "Out of the great pain, we seek to create a covenant of life — a covenant of responsibility, partnership, and action."

Two years after the Majdal Shams disaster, where 12 children were killed by a Hezbollah rocket on a soccer field, a memorial installation is unveiled. The design, by architect Zvika Pasternak, preserves the impact crater and incorporates a wall saved at the request of a grieving father.
