Four Palestinians broke into Joseph’s tomb on Monday night and vandalized it, causing damage to the site, according to Walla.
The head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, said: “Only the State of Israel can safeguard Joseph’s tomb. Neglecting the tomb has been a failure that must be corrected.”
The Shehab Agency, a news group focused on Palestinian affairs, tweeted images of the vandalism. In the tweet, they wrote “video | Youths destroy Joseph’s tomb, east of Nablus, in response to occupation crimes in Jenin.”
