Overnight Monday several Israelis tried to enter the Joseph's Tomb compound in Nablus without permission, the IDF spokesperson announced. "All the citizens were rescued from the compound, there were no casualties," he said. The IDF spokesman further emphasized that "entry into Area A without coordination is prohibited and dangerous for Israelis." At the same time, Palestinian media announced that these were some "settlers who attacked Palestinian homes," and that clashes broke out between Palestinians and the IDF forces that arrived to rescue the settlers.
