NABLUS, West Bank, May 18 (UPI) -- Molotov cocktails were thrown at Israeli troops guarding 1,500 Jewish worshipers near Nablus, West Bank, but no injuries were reported, officials said. The attack occurred at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, where Israeli and Palestinian forces coordinate security, The Jerusalem Post reported Friday. The Palestinian Authority has 10 police officers permanently assigned at the tomb. Joseph's Tomb -- which biblical tradition identifies as the resting place of the biblical patriarch Joseph, ancestor of the northern kingdom of Israel, and sons Ephraim and Manasseh -- has been a flashpoint for violence, with Palestinian youth throwing stones at Israeli soldiers in the area, the Post said. The Israeli military authorizes entry into the tomb once a month during the hours before dawn in coordination with Israeli security forces and the Palestinian Authority. Right-wing organizations have called for the tomb to be placed under Israeli sovereignty and daytime access.
