NABLUS, Monday, December 10, 2018 (WAFA) – Four Palestinians were injured on Monday during clashes with Israeli forces who were providing cover for extremist Jewish settlers as they broke into Joseph’s Tomb, to the east of the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to medical and security sources.

The sources said that several Israeli military jeeps broke into the eastern area of the city to provide protection for the settlers, provoking clashes with local Palestinian residents.

Four people were reported injured from rubber bullets, while 20 others suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas, said the medical sources.
