The Tomb of Joseph in Shechem

Kever Yosef the burial place of the Biblical patriarch Joseph is located in the city of Shechem in the Shomron. It is traditionally considered to be the burial place of the Biblical patriarch Joseph. Joseph's body was taken from Egypt during the Exodus and later reinterred in Shechem in the specific spot purchased legally by Jacob. According to tradition, Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, are also buried at the site. 

Israel first gained control of the tomb in 1967, following the Six-Day War and from the mid-1980s a the Od Yosef Chai yeshiva opperated at the site. In 1995, the city was given over to Palestinian National Authority jurisdiction, however Israeli troops continued to control the site, to ensure free access to students and pilgrims in accordance with the Oslo accords. During the Western Wall Tunnel riots in 1996, the tomb was attacked and six Israeli soldiers were killed. 

In October 2000, the shrine became a target of armed militant demonstrators. Seventeen Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed in fighting around the tomb. On October 7, 2000 the Israeli army withdrew from the site leaving it in the hands of the Arab mobs. Soon afterward, the holy tomb and army post were ransacked (the outpost and yeshiva were destroyed in this deliberate attack on a site sacred to Jews); the Palestinian police allowed the ransacking to go ahead without intervention. Thw Arabs then painted the exterior of the shrine's dome green (the color of Islam), with intention to turn the site into a mosque. After some world outcry, the dome was repainted a neutral color but left in ruins....
