i24 News — Five Jewish individuals who entered Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus on Monday were subjected to a violent attack with stones.
One of the visitors sustained minor injuries during the confrontation.
The victims were swiftly evacuated from the scene by Palestinian policemen, and they are scheduled to be transferred to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at a nearby checkpoint.
Israeli civilians frequently visit Joseph’s Tomb, which is situated within the West Bank’s Area A, under Palestinian Authority control.
These visits typically occur overnight and are coordinated with the Israeli military. However, the recent entrance was not coordinated, according to initial reports.
