IDF personnel also accompanied some 1,000 worshipers to the Tomb of the Biblical patriarch Joseph in the city of Shechem.

Dozens of Palestinian Authority terrorists hurled stones, Molotov cocktails and burning tires at the soldiers and worshipers as they entered the Tomb.

The soldiers responded with standard riot dispersal measures. In addition, four IEDs were detected and defused, according to the IDF.

There were no physical injuries and no damage was reported.

“Prayers were held on time,” according to the Hebrew-language 0404 military website.
