 [IsraelTimes] No injuries in incident; 1,000 pray overnight at Joseph's Tomb in Paleostinian West Bank city
A Paleostinian hurled explosives at Israeli soldiers protecting a crowd of Jewish worshipers in the West Bank city of Nablus overnight Wednesday-Thursday, causing no injuries or damage, the army said.
A thousand Jewish worshipers flocked in the early hours of Thursday to Joseph’s Tomb, believed to be the burial site of the biblical figure, for Passover prayers under military escort.
In a statement, the military said that before the worshipers entered the site, observations indicated "suspicious activity" in addition to the explosives that were hurled. Soldiers incarcerated

three suspects and found weapons, including rifle magazines, bullets and a knife on a nearby roof.
After the festive prayer was over, Paleostinian residents began a "violent riot" at the exit from the city, the army said, adding that troops employed riot control methods to disperse the crowd. Two Paleostinians were said to have been injured.
Pilgrimages by Israeli or foreign civilians to the Joseph’s Tomb holy site are frequent catalysts for violence. In the past, Nablus residents have attacked the groups visiting the site with rocks, Molotov cocktails and rifle fire.
As a result, those interested in visiting the site require a military escort.
