Palestinians Attack Jews Going to Pray at Joseph's Tomb
(Ma'an News-PA) An Israeli army spokesperson said Israeli forces escorted 1,200 Israelis to Joseph's Tom in Nablus in the West Bank on Sunday night when "violent riots" erupted, with dozens of Palestinians throwing rocks and firebombs. Israeli forces responded with riot dispersal measures. Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, Joseph's Tomb was to remain under Israeli control, but the PA took over the site during the Second Intifada. As part of security cooperation with the PA, the Israeli army allows Jewish worshipers to make monthly pilgrimages to the site.
