Overnight, dozens of followers of Rabbi Eliezer Berland entered the Palestinian village of Kifl Haris, near Nablus, to protest what they described as insufficient organized access to the tomb of Joshua bin Nun and Caleb ben Jephunneh, located within the village. According to the group, Palestinian residents threw stones at them, wounding two followers. The wounded individuals refused evacuation to a hospital, reportedly out of fear of arrest for military desertion. The incident follows a similar entry by Breslov followers into the same village earlier this week, as The Zioneer reported at 08:09 Jerusalem. No arrests or official IDF statements have been reported.
