The Effects Of The Burning And Desecration Of Joseph's Tomb

Just recently, on October 16th a large group of over 150 Arab rioters burned the compound containing Joseph’s Tomb at the West Bank city of Nablus. The Palestinian Authority let the holy site burn before eventually stopping the rioters and putting the fire out. The burning and desecration of Joseph’s Tomb is a deliberate violation and contradiction of the basic value of freedom of worship. The tomb is believed to contain the remains of the biblical patriarch Joseph. Israel Defense Forces troops arrived at the scene once the conflict was over and the fire was out. The fire caused major damage to the women’s section at the site. There have been weeks of deadly Palestinian terror attacks and incidents. Israel has reinforced its troop presence
