B’chasdei Hashem, 16 buses were permitted to bring mispallalim to Kever Yosef on Wednesday night the eve of 28 Menachem Av in coordination with the IDF and border police. Unfortunately, the visit was not a peaceful one as Arabs attacked soldiers and mispallalim with rocks and firebombs in addition to place burning tires in the roadway.
The soldiers used riot-control adjuncts to restore order. During the violence one soldier was injured by gunfire in the Balata refugee camp area, which is part of the protective blanket operation when the kever is opened to mispallalim. The soldier was taken to Beilinson Hospital in stable condition.
