Israeli soldiers escorted hundreds of Jewish worshipers to Joseph\'s Tomb in the West Bank city of Nablus on Thursday, witnesses said. Clashes broke out as locals threw stones and soldiers fired tear gas, witnesses told Ma\'an. Jews believe that the tomb is the final resting place of the biblical figure Joseph. Muslims believe that an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Yussef (Joseph) Dawiqat, was buried there. The restoration of the tomb was completed recently, and following improved security cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli army allows Jewish worshipers to make monthly nocturnal pilgrimages to the site.y
