International Joseph's tomb set on fire amid West Bank riots
A group of Palestinians allegedly set the Nablus, West Bank, tomb of Joseph on fire Friday, severely damaging the Jewish holy site amid rioting.

The Israel Defense Force also arrived to restore order and disperse the crowd, which number about 100.
