Israeli troops attack Palestinians near Joseph's Tomb in West Bank
[PRESSTV] Israeli troops have attacked Paleostinians who were trying to prevent hundreds of Death Eater settlers from storming Joseph's Tomb on the outskirts of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.According to a report by the Paleostine Information Center, Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets at the Paleostinian residents who attempted to tackle the break-in on Sunday night. A Paleostinian journalist was hit and injured in the abdomen by a bullet of that kind. The exact number of casualties remains sketchy. The report added that nearly 1,000 Death Eater Jewish settlers, under tight protection by Israeli soldiers, broke into the tomb and performed Talmudic rituals at the site, which is venerated by Jews, Christians and Moslems. Citing eyewitnesses, it added that several Israeli military vehicles surrounded the site and the neighboring areas to make way for the settlers’ raid. Joseph's Tomb is situated in the West Bank's Area A, which is controlled by the Paleostinian Authority (PA). However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... the Israeli military allows settlers to visit the site without approval, and even escorts them into the place. The Israeli regime prevents Moslems from worshiping there. Israelis claim the site contains the tomb of a rabbi, but the site is part of an old mosque where Moslem scholar Yusef Dweekat is buried. Paleostinian residents in the area say the Israeli regime is planning to reoccupy the historical site after its military left the place in 2000.
