IDF says 50 Israelis illegally entered Nablus in the West Bank, threw rocks at buildings
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of around 50 Israelis entered the West Bank city of Nablus last night, the military says, in a violation of Israeli law.
In a statement, the IDF says that the Israeli citizens were handed over to Israeli security forces by Palestinian security forces, and then passed to the Israel Police to face potential charges.
The military adds that it is investigating claims that the group of citizens threw rocks at buildings in the city, but did not cause any injuries.
According to Hebrew media reports, the group was associated with convicted sex offender rabbi Eliezer Berland, and were aiming to visit Joseph’s Tomb but did so without any coordination with the IDF.
