Israeli settlers on Wednesday stormed the eastern part of the West Bank city of Nablus under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian sources reported that 700 Jewish settlers stormed the so-called "Joseph Tomb" and performed religious rituals under the protection of Israeli military forces.
Jewish settlers frequently storm the area from which the Israeli occupation forces withdrew in the year 2000 after fierce clashes with Palestinians.
Meanwhile the occupation soldiers rolled into the cities of Jenin, Hebron and Bethlehem amid intensive fire and arrested 10 Palestinians.
