Israel holds first morning prayer at West Bank's Joseph’s Tomb in 25 years https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/959a3b91-42e8-442a-8845-fbcf573c4e56 Israeli forces set up a large-scale military cordon east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank to secure a raid on the site of Joseph’s Tomb, so that Jewish morning prayers could be held for the first time since 2000. Far-right officials and settler leaders participated in the prayers, with settler leader Yossi Dagan calling on the Israeli government to “return the Israeli flag that once flew over this holy site, and to re-establish a permanent Jewish presence.” Joseph’s Tomb was previously restricted by Israel to night visits only since the outbreak of the Second Intifada. But since October 2023, the site has seen larger and more frequent settler-led incursions, under the protection of Israeli forces. Support stories that matter.
