On Wednesday night the Israeli army entered the eastern part of the city of Nablus to open the way for Israeli settlers to reach the Tomb of Joseph for religious rituals.

Balata camp refugees told PNN that several military vehicles, accompanied by a bulldozer, invaded the camp around midnight to allow settlers into the tomb.
Confrontations took place in the camp as soldiers shot tear gas canisters towards the houses, and many suffered from tear gas inhalation. The confrontation lasted until the army and settlers left around 4:30 in the morning.
Settlers make regular visits to the tomb, which is located in a Area A—under the Oslo Accords, the area of the West Bank under full Palestinian military and civil control.
