OCCUPIED PALESTINE, March 16 (YPA) – The West Bank city of Nablus has witnessed clashes between Palestinians and Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday’s night, in which resistance fighters fired at the Zionist force east of the city.

A number of citizens were wounded and dozens suffocated when Zionist settlers stormed the Tomb of Yusuf (Joseph’s Tomb) east of Nablus.

According to Palestinian sources, the occupation forces stormed the eastern area of Nablus to secure the incursion of settlers, leading to clashes during which a number of Palestinian citizens were hit by rubber bullets and dozens of suffocations caused by tear gas bombs.

A large occupying army force, accompanied by a military bulldozer, entered the Beit Furik checkpoint and headed towards the eastern area of Nablus, the sources added.

Youths set rubber tires on fire in the eastern area of Nablus in preparation for the settlers’ incursion into Yusuf’s tomb.

Journalist Abdullah Behsh was hit by two rubber-coated bullets while covering the break-in at Yusuf’s shrine.
