A Palestinian was injured by live bullets in the back area and was taken to hospital, while five others were wounded by rubber bullets and were treated in the field, on Wednesday, said Ahmad Jebril, director of ambulance and emergency at the Red Crescent in Nablus.
Jewish pilgrimages to Joseph’s tomb by Nablus are allowed under Oslo, however that doesn’t stop kids, yes kids (look at the faces) from attacking the site.
Meanwhile apparently what the Jews are doing is a “Talmudic Ritual meant ti defile the grave of Yusef.”#pallywood pic.twitter.com/nPqTYweIVh— Jay Engelmayer (@jengelmayer) May 17, 2023
In addition, a Palestinian was wounded in the hand as a result of being hit by a gas bomb directly, while a woman was also injured with a stun grenade. They were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Moreover, more than 80 Palestinians suffocated due to toxic gas.
Some houses were targeted with poisonous gas, as a result they were evacuated. Red Crescent crew were also directly targeted with gas bombs.
Dozens of settlers stormed Joeph's tomb amid heavy military escort from the occupation forces, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
