Hundreds of extremist settlers stormed on Monday the eastern part of Nablus north of the West Bank, under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian sources said that around 10 buses carrying extremist settlers broke into the so-called "Joseph Tomb" and performed religious rituals, noting that violent clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers who used tear gas canisters, sound bombs and rubber bullets which resulted in the injury of three Palestinians and the suffocation of many others .
