NABLUS, Thursday, June 04, 2020 (WAFA) – The Israeli army secured early this morning a site known as Joseph’s Tomb, inside the Palestinian-controlled northern West Bank city of Nablus, to allow dozens of settlers easy and secure access to the site, said Palestinian security sources.

Nevertheless, Palestinians confronted the soldiers and settlers and pelted them with stones.

The soldiers fired tear gas at the Palestinians causing several suffocation cases, said the sources.

Settlers repeatedly break into Joseph’s Tomb, located in a densely Palestinian populated area in Nablus, provoking chaos and confrontation with local residents.
