The Passover holiday is expected to bring tens of thousands of hikers from all over the country to Samaria, but among the other sites in the area, hikers will be able to arrive for the first time this Monday (29.3) without coordination at the altar of Joshua, located on Mount Ebal from morning until 16:00.
The Samaria Regional Council says that, unlike previous years this time, travelers will be able to get to the place independently throughout the day. The new directive, supported by the army, comes against the background of the destruction carried out at the site several weeks ago by the PA, which hit the wall surrounding the altar of Joshua. The head of the council, Yossi Dagan, turned to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and demanded that the area be secured.
Travelers who come to the area will enjoy activities for the whole family, including a kite workshop, an interactive million race, a spectacular view of the city of Nablus, educational guides, shaded seating areas and more. The exit will be made by vehicles from Samaria, the road is controlled and will be completely secured by the IDF.
Dagan: “Whoever wanted to destroy the area and damage an ancient and important Jewish heritage site, will receive thousands of travelers in the same place. The site is restored and its capacity can reach thousands of travelers. I invite everyone to visit the historical heritage site that has both national and international importance. “.
