Two Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli forces during clashes that erupted after hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed Joseph Tomb, east of Nablus. 
Protected by Israeli forces, a number of buses packed with hundreds of settlers stormed Joseph Tomb, where they performed religious rituals, triggering clashes with Palestinian locals, state news agency (WAFA) reported. 
Israeli soldiers fired stun grenades, tear gas canisters and rubber-coated steel bullets at Palestinian local youths who protested the raid and attempted to prevent settlers from storming the religious site, injuring two Palestinians. 
Settlers repeatedly break into Joseph Tomb, located in a densely Palestinian populated area in Nablus, provoking chaos and confrontation with local residents. 
The site of Joseph’s Tomb is contentious. Palestinians believe the site to be the funerary monument to Sheikh Yousef Dweikat, a local religious figure, while Israeli settlers believe it to belong to the Biblical Patriarch Joseph.
