Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

A security official tells The Times of Israel that 20 Breslov Hasidim entered the Palestinian village of Kifl Haris in the northern West Bank last night without coordination with authorities.

The site is occasionally visited by Jews due to the belief that the tomb of the biblical prophet Joshua is located there.

The Hasidic men are documented throwing stones and leaving the area after a few minutes. No Palestinian injuries have been reported. The IDF has not issued an official response.
