Thursday 2-August-2018

Hundreds of Israeli settlers early Thursday forced their way into Joseph’s Tomb in the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus under heavy Israeli military protection sparking clashes with Palestinians.

A convoy of buses packed with hundreds of fanatic Jewish settlers broke into the site where they performed sacrilegious rituals as Israeli forces secured the road and location for them.

Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian residents who protested the raid injuring journalist Mootasem Sakf al-Heit.

Soldiers also hurled teargas canisters and bullet fire toward Palestinian protesters causing them to sustain injuries. Several protesters suffocated from teargas inhalation.

Israeli settlers repeatedly break into Joseph’s Tomb located in a densely Palestinian populated area in Nablus provoking chaos and confrontation with the Palestinian locals.
