Palestinian Authority police officers shot at a group of Breslov Hassidim as they were trying to enter Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem overnight Monday.
PA officials told AFP that the policemen opened fire after shouting warnings at the small group of worshippers.
A report on the Israeli website Hakol Hayehudi said one of the worshippers was lightly wounded when a PA officer chased a group of Breslov Hassidim and then opened fire at them. The worshippers fled the scene, according to the report.
Israeli public radio said the group entered the site without the required coordination with the Israeli military.
Currently, Jews are allowed to visit the Tomb, which is in PA-controlled Shechem, only by special permit of the IDF. Groups that attempt to pray there without such permits are often arrested by the army. Read the rest on: Arutz7
