Jewish settlers storm Al-Nabi Yousef Tomb

Several Jewish settlers Thursday stormed al-Nabi Yousef tomb, in the east of Nablus city, to perform their rituals. The Palestinian Telegraph quoted witnesses as saying that Israeli military forces entered the city in an attempt to protect Jewish settlers who marched to al-Nabi Yousef tomb to perform their rituals there. The witnesses added that the settlers threw stones and rubbishes at the nearby buildings. Jewish settlers supported by Israeli forces conducted frequent visits to al-Nabi Yousef tomb in order to attend their rituals there and left slogans provoking Muslims and Arabs. Israeli soldiers decided to escort settlers during their way to Yousef tomb after the murder of an Israeli settlers by Palestinian gunfire in April, 2011.
