Palestinian sources said clashes erupted between Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants and IDF soldiers
Palestinian gunfire and fireworks lightly wounded three Jewish worshipers at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, the West Bank, according to reports early Thursday.
The Samaria Regional Council said thousands of worshipers arrived overnight to pray at the Jewish holy site, which is located in the Palestinian Authority-controlled area.
Footage on social media showed fierce clashes between the Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian militants.
The gunmen, who Palestinian reports said were members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, opened fire and hurled Molotov cocktails at the soldiers tasked with protecting the worshipers.
