Local sources said that violent confrontations erupted after the occupation's forces and settlers had broken into Yusuf Tomb in Nablus.

The sources said that tens of vehicles and a military bulldozer broke into the eastern side of the city and the units spread around the Tomb's area. The soldiers fired sound bombs and teargas at the youth who had closed down the streets with burning tires and responded with Molotov and stones.

Hundreds of settlers arrived later claiming they wanted to perform Talmudic rituals.
