At least three Palestinians were injured with rubber-coated bullets during fierce clashes with Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday.

The clashes flared up after hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed Joseph's tomb, east of the occupied northern West Bank town of Nablus, amid tight security measures by Israeli forces.

Eyewitnesses said that more than 30 vehicles with hundreds of settlers on board stormed Joseph’s Tomb and performed their religious rituals.

A number of Palestinians suffered from suffocation due to tear gas grenades thrown by Israeli soldiers to disperse them.
