NABLUS, Nov. 04 (YPA) – Several Palestinians on Wednesday overnight sustained injuries from Israeli military gunfire as Israeli forces stormed Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus city, Palestinian media reported.
According to the Palestinian media, the Israeli occupation forces escorted a convoy of buses packed with hundreds of fanatic Jewish settlers into the site, located in the Palestinian-controlled area, sparking confrontations with Palestinian residents.
The soldiers opened fire on Palestinians protesting the raid and attempting to block the Zionist settlers’ access to the site, injuring several protestors with rubber-coated steel bullets and causing others to suffocate from tear gas.
They occupied the rooftops of several houses in the Amman Street, east of the northern West Bank city, to secure the settler intrusion into the site.
Zionist Settlers repeatedly break into Joseph’s Tomb, located in a densely Palestinian populated area in Nablus, provoking chaos and confrontation with local residents.
