Hundreds of people entered the site known as Joseph's Tomb near the West Bank city of Nablus under the protection of Israeli military forces, according to Anadolu Agency, citing official sources.
Israeli forces reportedly evacuated residents from homes near the site and deployed snipers on nearby rooftops as part of security measures surrounding the visit, according to the same sources.
A recurring flashpoint
Joseph's Tomb has repeatedly been the site of tension between Israeli visitors escorted by the military and Palestinian residents of the surrounding area, with similar visits in the past often requiring significant security deployments.
The site holds religious significance for some Jewish worshippers, while its location within Palestinian-administered territory near Nablus has made such visits a recurring source of friction, with Palestinian residents and officials frequently objecting to the scale of the military presence involved.
Details on the exact number of participants, the duration of the visit, and any incidents during it were not fully specified in the available reporting.
