Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed at dawn Wednesday Nabi Yusuf tomb, east of Nablus, amid heavy military protection.

The settlers arrived to the area in ten buses since the early morning hours and started performing Talmudic rituals marking a Jewish holiday in total provocation to the local residents, eyewitnesses told PIC reporter.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces have intensively deployed throughout the neighboring streets amid heavy fire of sound bombs, the sources added.

Clashes broke out in the area during which IOF soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas bombs at local youths who were protesting the settlers’ break-in. No injuries were reported.
