Hundreds of settlers storm Joseph's Tomb east of Nablus

Hundreds of settlers stormed Joseph's Tomb east of Nablus last night.

Local sources reported that several buses carrying settlers stormed the shrine under heavy protection from the occupation army and performed Talmudic rituals.

Hebrew media reported that hundreds of settlers, accompanied by Knesset Member Zvi Sukkot and head of the Northern West Bank Settlement Council Yossi Dagan, stormed the shrine and performed Talmudic prayers.

Large forces of the occupation army, accompanied by several military bulldozers, stormed the eastern part of the city of Nablus, deployed on the roofs of buildings surrounding the shrine, and razed the surrounding streets before the settlers stormed in.
