‘At least two Palestinians have sustained injuries in clashes with Israeli military forces who were escorting hundreds of illegal settlers to Prophet Joseph’s Tomb in the West Bank city of Nablus.
Hundreds of extremist settlers stormed the site, which is venerated by Jews, Christians and Muslims, amid protection by Israeli soldiers and under the pretext of performing religious rituals early on Tuesday, Arabic-language Safa news agency reported.
Local residents said Israeli forces deployed dozens of military vehicles in the streets leading to the tomb, and snipers were positioned on rooftops overlooking the area as troves of settlers poured into the courtyard of the sacred site.’
