A group of Palestinian rioters vandalized Joseph's Tomb located in the city of Nablus in the West Bank. The holy site for Jews is under the lackadaisical control of the Palestinian Authority, and in this case, were as useful as breasts on a bull.
The site is believed by Jews to hold the body of Joseph a figure from the Old Testament. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers but later became an adviser to an Egyptian pharaoh.
About 100 Muslims set fires and vandalized the site before Palestinian security forces [an oxymoron] sent them on their merry way, IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav said, as per the Times of Israel.
“Attacking holy sites is attacking the heart of a people,” Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said.
“The Palestinians who laid waste to Joseph’s Tomb seek to sow destruction and devastation during a holy festival. This is serious damage not only to the tomb itself, but to the deeply-held feelings of the Jewish people,” he said.
The holy festival is known as Ramadan but is more like the Ramadan Bombathon, as I've written before, as it is in Islamic scripture to hate the Jewish people.
“We will bring the perpetrators to justice and repair Joseph’s Tomb. I call on everyone to promote calm and quiet,” Lapid said.
The current Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the country “will not accept this kind of an attack on a place that is holy to us, particularly on the eve of Passover. We will reach the rioters. Of course, we will make sure to rebuild what they destroyed, as we always do,” the Post reported.

The irony of this is the fact that Israel protects all holy sites and makes them available to Muslims, Christians and Jews, without exception. This recent behavior is the exact opposite of that and still the world demonizes Israel and the Jews with their anti-Semitic crap.
“The vandalism of Joseph’s Tomb is a serious event and a grave violation of freedom of worship in one of the holiest places for every Jew. It violates the feelings of the entire Jewish nation, especially when it occurs during the Muslim holy month,” Gantz said. “The State of Israel will take action to ensure that the site will be refurbished and quickly returned to its original condition. In addition, we will take all the measures necessary to prevent such incidents,” he added.
The tomb, built on the location of the biblical of Shechem, and has been overseen by the Palestinian Authority since October 2000.

They seemed to have "looked away" this time.
