Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed early Wednesday the Joseph Tomb to the east of Nablus, said security sources.
Protected by Israeli forces, a number of buses packed with settlers arrived at Joseph Tomb, where they performed religious rituals, triggering clashes with the residents.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces arrested a number of Palestinians from Beit Amr in Hebron, fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian students in the neighborhood.
Scores of students suffered injuries as a result of inhaling tear gas.
Settlers repeatedly break into Joseph Tomb, located in a densely Palestinian populated area in Nablus, provoking chaos and confrontation with local residents.
