Hundreds of Israeli Settlers Enter Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus for Religious Rituals

Hundreds of Israeli settlers entered Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus and performed Jewish religious rituals during a visit that began after midnight.

More than 36 buses carrying settlers arrived successively at the site, according to a correspondent’s account.

The arrivals coincided with the sixth day of the Jewish festival of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles.

The account described a steady flow of buses to the shrine in the early hours but did not give an exact total for the number of settlers taking part.
