Samaria Regional Council construction team repairs Jewish holy site damaged by Arab rioters
Under the protection of Israeli troops, renovations took place Wednesday morning on Joseph's Tomb near Nablus after the Jewish holy site was vandalized by Palestinians.
The Samaria Regional Brigade accompanied the Samaria Regional Council to the shrine, which was targeted by Arab rioters in recent days
The flashpoint also saw two Israeli Hasidic Jews shot and wounded overnight Sunday to Monday as they attempted to reach the compound.
The Hasidic Jews did not coordinate with the Israel Defense Forces, which usually oversees visits by Jewish worshippers.
In the predawn hours Wednesday, a building team assembled by the Samara Regional Council entered the tomb complex in the Palestinian Authority-controlled area of the West Bank.
