Storming the shrine of Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, a large force of the Israeli occupation army stormed the city on Thursday morning to secure the entry of settlers to the “Joseph’s Tomb” shrine in the east, where they began performing religious rituals under the protection of the army, according to local sources.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that confrontations broke out between dozens of Palestinian youth and an occupation army force while securing the settlers’ storming of the shrine, as the youth threw stones at the army, who then used live bullets and tear gas bombs.
The occupation army raided a number of eastern Nablus neighborhoods and searched homes before withdrawing and arresting at least one young man, according to witnesses.
According to Jewish belief, the remains of the Prophet Joseph, peace be upon him, were brought from Egypt and buried in the place, but archaeologists denied the truth of the story, indicating that the age of the shrine does not exceed a few centuries, and that it is a shrine for a Muslim sheikh named Youssef Dweikat.
Other intrusions
In addition to Nablus, the Israeli occupation army carried out a series of incursions into other governorates in the West Bank, including the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of Hebron, in the south of the West Bank, the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, and the town of Sa’ir, northeast of the city, where confrontations broke out with Palestinians. The occupation forces also stormed the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank and Qalqilya. North of it.
On a daily basis, the Israeli occupation storms cities and towns in the West Bank under the pretext of searching for wanted security personnel.
In parallel with the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, the occupation army and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which led to the death of 749 Palestinians, the injury of about 6,250, and the arrest of more than 11,100, according to official Palestinian data.
With American support, the war of extermination in Gaza resulted in more than 139,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing persons, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
