Police release 4 Israelis who went to Joseph’s Tomb

Police say they have released four Israeli men who were detained for visiting the West Bank city of Nablus without authorization.

The men were removed from the Joseph’s Tomb holy site in the city by Palestinian police early this morning, before being handed over to Israeli police officers.

A Petah Tikva judge later ordered them released them on bail. They have also been served with a restraining order to keep them out of the West Bank for the next 10 days.
