Arabs Desecrate Tombs in Samaria

(IsraelNN.com) Members of “Shechem Echad” who arrived in the village of Kfar Heres in Samaria to prepare for a special prayer gathering discovered that Arab vandals had desecrated tombs in the village.  The tombs of Yehoshua (Joshua) ben Nun, Nun, and Calev ben Yefune were covered with garbage and human and animal excrement, and anti-Semitic slogans had been painted in the area.

Worshippers gathered at the tombs on Tuesday night for special prayers on the tenth of Tevet.  The day has been chosen as the time to say Kaddish and other prayers for those whose date of death is unknown, such as Calev ben Yefune.
