Last night (Monday), a bus carrying dozens of Hasidim entered the compound of Joseph's Tomb in Nablus. IDF forces entered Nablus and evacuated all of the civilians from the area, with no casualties.
The IDF stated: "The civilians were transferred to the Israel Police." The military emphasized: "The bus entered the area without coordinating it with us first and this will be investigated. We emphasize that Israeli civilians' entry into Area A is prohibited by law."
Last month, Rabbi Ben Zion Mutzafi, criticized those who enter Area A without permission: "These people are considered suicidal, and they also endanger the lives of our soldiers who fight to ensure their safety."
