Jewish worshippers flock to Joseph's Tomb despite arson attack.
Thousands of Jewish worshippers visited Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, a year after Palestinians torched the shrine. The visit was the largest since before the coronavirus outbreak. The worshippers were accompanied by heavy security by Israeli forces. During the visit, armed clashes broke out nearby between Israeli forces and Palestinians, with one Palestinian shot and injured amid the clashes. The tomb, located in Nablus and built on the site of the biblical city of Shechem, remained in IDF’s hands after the 1993 Oslo Accords but was handed over to the Palestinian Authority in October 2000.
