The Tomb of Joseph, son of the Biblical father of the Israelites Jacob, is located in the Palestinian-run city of Nablus making regular access and security for worshipers difficult.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian gunman was critically wounded in clashes with Israeli troops near Joseph’s Tomb.
