Approximately 50 followers of Eliezer Berland illegally entered Shechem overnight in an unauthorized attempt to reach Kever Yosef, the IDF said.

The group was detained by Palestinian security forces and handed over to the IDF, then transferred to police. An investigation is underway amid claims some threw rocks at buildings. No injuries were reported.

The IDF emphasized that such uncoordinated visits are dangerous and strictly prohibited.
