Jewish worshippers who visited the gravesite of the Biblical figure Joshua bin Nun two nights ago discovered that the site had been vandalized. It is assumed that the grave, which was untouched during the Oslo War years, was ransacked by Arabs.
The grave, not far from the Shomron city of Ariel, suffered significant damage. The tombstone was partially smashed, and the unique tree adjacent to one of the walls - the site's symbol - was set on fire. The vandals also blocked the entrance with large rocks and metal bars.
The Shechem Echad organization, which works on behalf of the holy sites in the Shomron, calls on the relevant security and government bodies to "save the sites that are so sacred to the Jewish People, and which are constantly being damaged and mutilated even under Israeli sovereignty."
