A number of IEDs were hurled at IDF soldiers who were protecting mispallalim entering the Kever Yosef complex, which is located in PA occupied Shechem. Soldiers responded, firing at the vehicle from which improvised explosives were hurled from.
Simultaneously, a military engineering vehicle struck the fleeing vehicle. As a result, the two terrorists were killed. B’chasdei Hashem, there were no injuries among Israeli forces.
According to the Oslo Agreements, Israeli worshipers are to have free access to holy sites located in Palestinian Authority areas. This includes Shechem, where Kever Yosef it is located, however in reality, we see the situation is far from what it is supposed to be. Jews may only visit the site by coordinating with the IDF in advance, entering the area in armored buses, with an IDF escort. This is a far cry from compliance with the agreements signed between Israel and the PA.
