Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed at daybreak Tuesday Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.
According to eyewitnesses over seven buses carrying hundreds of Israeli settlers rolled into Nablus’s eastern zone under heavy police escort.
The Israeli settlers broke into Joseph’s Tomb and performed sacrilegious rituals.
Overnight Israeli military patrols cordoned off the environs of the tomb as they set the stage for the break-in.
Clashes flared up in the area between the Israeli soldiers and the Palestinian anti-occupation youth in Amman Street and near the northern entrance to Balata refugee camp east of Nablus. The occupation forces attacked the Palestinian protesters with randomly-discharged barrages of teargas canisters.
