About 650 worshipers entered the tomb of Yehoshua (Joshua) Bin Nun and Caleb ben Yefuneh in the Samarian Palestinian Authority village of Kifl Haris on Wednesday evening.

The two men played a central role in the Torah portion read this week in Israel. The Israel Defense Forces, Border Guards, Israel Police and the Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria secured the entry of the worshipers. The prayers were held peacefully with no unusual security incidents.
