Around 1,200 Mispallalim were escorted into Kever Yosef in Shechem by Israeli security forces on Monday night.
As part of the preliminary inspection of the area prior to the arrival of mispallalim, security forces detected a pipe bomb in the kever complex. The device was neutralized in a controlled explosion.
As the mispallalim were present, rioting broke out, with Palestinians burning tires and hurling stones at IDF soldiers. The soldiers responded with riot-control means. B’chasdei Hashem, there were no injuries reported among security forces.

What are the risks to human life? What would have happened if the pipe bomb was NOT detected?
Is Yosef Hatzadik really buried there?
