NABLUS (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces escorted a group of around 1,200 Israelis to pray at a Jewish site in the West Bank city of Nablus on Monday night, locals said.

The group entered Joesph's Tomb near Balata refugee camp under heavy military protection, residents said.

Israeli forces detained Mahmoud Raed Jiaan, 15, from Balata, during the tour, before returning him to the Palestinian Authority, they added.

An Israeli military spokesman said there had been a military-escorted tour to the site, and a Palestinian who hurled rocks at Israeli soldiers was held before being transferred to Palestinian security.

The "1,200 Israelis that prayed at a Jewish site of Joesph's Tomb",
should setup tents on land they do NOT own, so the PA police could
bulldoze illegal Jewish construction, built without permits !!!

I dont get it, isnt the tomb on Israeli land so whats the problem here? Why dont we demonstrate on the real issues in front of us like Assad of Syria's brutal killing of thousands of his own countrymen and brothers, and other tyrants killings? And, why do we focus so much on the far away israelis who are not killing other people daily?

@ Tibi/Tubas Nablus & Bethlehem & a host of other places are in the West Bank yet Israel bulldozes Palestinian houses & grabs the land and Abass & the PA do damn all! Palestine needs a New Young Strong Decisive Leadership elected legally by the people. I think its time the women of Palestine led the country! Free Free Palestine!

To Salaam #2 'dont get it, isnt the tomb on Israeli land so whats the problem here?' I take it you're a Zionist imposter. Nablus, of course, isn't on Israeli land.

To Treasa #3 'Palestine needs a New Young Strong Decisive Leadership elected legally by the people. ' The difficulty is that Israel refuses to accept the election results and just arrests anyone who is elected who fits your description. It's like demanding more forceful leadership in the Warsaw Ghetto Judenrat.
