Scores of extremist Jewish settlers Wednesday dawn stormed the area of Prophet Joseph's Tomb east of the West Bank city of Nablus.

Security sources told Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) that scores of extremist Jewish settlers broke into the holy place and performed their Talmudic rituals under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

Hebrew sources said Israel Interior Minister Aryeh Deri accompanied the settlers during their raid.
