Corroborated: Israeli forces storm Joseph's Tomb in eastern Nablus, reportedly with a bulldozer

Corroborated · Nablus, Palestine · 2026-10-29 22:40 UTC

Palestinian reporting, including WAFA (also relayed by Middle East Eye), says Israeli forces stormed Joseph's Tomb in eastern Nablus at dawn and raided homes in neighbouring villages, searching and ransacking them. The Telegram channel Middle East Observer separately reports that Israeli forces, with a bulldozer, entered eastern Nablus and carried out an incursion on Al-Mai Street, east of the city. None of the listed claims cites an Israeli military statement or official confirmation.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
