Sign outside Joshua's Tomb
Hillel Meir
A group of Jews who sought to pray at the tomb of Joshua (Kever Yehoshua) on Thursday night became the victims of an attempted terrorist killing when local Palestinian Authority Arabsnoticed their presence. A group of PA men pelted them with heavy stones, leaving one worshiper in moderate condition.
The worshipers had hoped to enter the tomb unnoticed.
IDF troops searched the area of the tomb for the attackers, but have not yet arrested suspects. Military sources noted that the Jews who came under attack had entered the tomb, located near the city of Ariel in Samaria “without coordinating with security forces, in a manner that endangered their lives.”
A similar incident took place near the biblical city of Shechem, where 18 Jews attempted to enter Joseph's Tomb on Thursday for midnight prayers without coordinating with authorities. That group, too, was noticed and attacked by PA Arabs, but managed to escape without injury. Read the rest on: Arutz7
