Palestinian Authority Arabs and Jews in Samaria worked together Monday to fight a fire that threatened to wreak irreparable damage at the site of the Biblical era temple at Shiloh.
The fire was sparked by a failure in electrical cables that were in use for maintenance work on Highway 60, the major north-south highway in Judea and Samaria. The Arabs, who were working on building projects at the adjacent town of Shiloh, joined the Jewish firefighters and battled thick smoke for two hours until they were able to overcome the fire.
It reached the site of the ancient and temporary temple, which stood for 369 years. The Jewish People eventually built the first permanent Holy Temple in Jerusalem and began rebuilding it 70 years after its destruction by Roman enemies.
