This time, the Palestinians set fire to the holy shrine of the Jews. Palestinian protesters set fire to a shrine believed to be Joseph's tomb in the West Bank city of Nablus. According to BBC news, Palestinian police later removed them from there.
Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. However, it is said that this ancient structure has suffered a lot of damage. The attack comes amid renewed tension and violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the attack on the holy places of pilgrimage for Jews and Christians. Abbas described the attack in Nablus as irresponsible. He also promised that the Palestinian Authority would renovate the shrine.
Since the beginning of the month, at least 7 Israelis have been killed by Palestinian stabbings and shootings. On the other hand, at least 30 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli attack.
It should be noted that there has been renewed anger among the Palestinians regarding an alleged plan of Israel regarding the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, which is known as a holy place for Muslims.
