Two young men from 'Shubu Banim' were shot in Nablus after trying to reach 'Joseph's Tomb''

April 11, 2022   

Two young men from Rabbi Eliezer Berland's "Shuvu Banim" group were shot last night (Monday) in Nablus, after they tried to reach Joseph's Tomb, which had been vandalized by Palestinians, who they claimed were renovating the site. Cleaning for Passover: What do you know about the rules for maintaining the home gas system? The terrorists escaped. The two, from Bnei Brak and Jerusalem, were shot in the knee and hand and are in minor condition. They were treated on the spot and evacuated to Beilinson Hospital. The IDF said, "The two arrived at an unmanned checkpoint at one of the entrances to Nablus, breached it and entered the city. A short time later, they arrived at another checkpoint with gunshot wounds. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation." Menachem Malka, a friend of the Israelis who entered Nablus and were shot, said on the Kalman Lieberman program on the B network: "Many Jews are hurt that the government is doing nothing." He said about the incident tonight: "When they arrived in the area, a Palestinian mob attacked them, and they fled, but before leaving the city, a vehicle arrived in front of them and a terrorist shot at them. How can it be that the grave is being vandalized day after day?" The head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, said: "We are all praying for the healing of the wounded. Nothing justifies the brutal murder and terrorism from the Palestinian Authority seminary headed by the terrorist Abu Mazen." He added: "Just yesterday early in the morning, there was barbaric ISIS-style destruction at the sacred site of Joseph's Tomb, and today, cold-blooded shooting at Jews who came to pray. The responsibility lies solely with the Palestinian Authority terrorists and, no less seriously, with the people who continue to obsessively market this group of terrorists. As their 'partner,' they must hand over the heart of the Land of Israel. In order to bring this reality to the entire State of Israel. "To the same extent, I repeat and even demand, on behalf of the settlement in Samaria, on behalf of the rabbis of Samaria - not to come to Joseph's Tomb without the coordinated entrances that take place once a month under the security of the Samaria Brigade. 'And you will be very careful for your souls.'".

Several Palestinians entered Joseph's Tomb in Nablus this morning, during the entry of Palestinian Authority representatives who came to assess the damage from last night, and continued to destroy the complex. They were removed from the site after a few minutes by Palestinian police. pic.twitter.com/hVH1V8YuN9

Meanwhile, just hours after Palestinians shot two members of the "Shubu Banim" group, footage of Palestinians breaking into the tomb complex and deliberately vandalizing it was posted on Twitter. On the night between Saturday and Sunday, Palestinian rioters entered Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, rioted there, set fire to the rooms of the complex, broke the tombstone on the tomb and set it on fire. The riot and destruction occurred seven years after the tomb complex was set on fire and severely damaged in 2015, after which the Samaria Regional Council brought in its own teams to renovate and repair the holy site.
