Palestinian youths confront Israeli soldiers, settlers who broke into Nablus and force them to leave area

NABLUS, (ST) –  Palestinian youths confronted early this morning Israeli soldiers and settlers who broke into the northern West Bank city of Nablus and forced them to leave the area, according to Palestinian security sources, according to Wafa News Agency.

They told WAFA that dozens of Israeli settlers entered Nablus under heavy Israeli army protection to perform rituals at what is known as Joseph’s Tomb, near Balata refugee camp.

Palestinian youths confronted the soldiers and the settlers, blocking their road with burnt tires, pelting them with stones, and also shooting at them forcing the army to cut the intrusion short and rush the settlers out of the occupied city.
