An Israeli border guard has died of his wounds after being injured Sunday by Palestinian fire at the site known as "Joseph's Tomb" in the northern West Bank town of Nablus, a military spokesman said. 

The man was the first member of the Israeli security forces to die in four days of violence that has rocked the Palestinian territories.
