Israeli soldiers wound 8 Palestinians in Nablus
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Israeli soldiers injured at least eight Palestinians during raids early Tuesday in the northern city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Jewish settlers, who headed by bus to Joseph’s tomb in Nablus under the protection of the Israeli army, attacked Palestinians in the area, according to information received by an Anadolu Agency correspondent.
Israeli soldiers opened fire on the Palestinians with live and rubber bullets and also used tear gas and sound bombs.
Palestinians tried to stop the vehicles belonging to the Israeli army by throwing Molotov cocktails and stones at them.
A Palestinian Red Crescent official told Anadolu Agency that eight Palestinians suffered bullet injuries and 13 others were affected by the tear gas.
Three people, including a young man who was wounded by live bullets, were taken to Rafidia Surgical Hospital in Nablus.
Jews believe that Joseph’s tomb is the burial place of the biblical patriarch Joseph. Muslims, however, challenge the claim, saying an Islamic cleric – Sheikh Youssef Dawiqat – was buried at the site two centuries ago.
