Palestinians Attack Biblical Figure, Joseph’s Tomb in West Bank

Israel’s Prime Minister called the attack a “frenzy of destruction.”

The tomb where the biblical figure, Joseph is said to be buried has been vandalized by Palestinians amid spiraling tensions with Israel. The site in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, was attacked in what Israel’s Prime Minister called a “frenzy of destruction”.

There has been a spate of Israeli and Palestinian deaths in recent days, including deadly attacks which have caused shock across Israel. Israel has promised a strong response. The tomb was vandalized on Saturday night as Israeli forces carried out raids in the West Bank in the wake of a gun attack on a bar in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian on Thursday, which left three Israelis dead and 11 others injured.
