An Israeli soldier sustained injuriesovernight as clashes broke out during a visit to Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, Israel's army said.
Around 60 Palestinians hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails, and rolled burning tires at a group of Israelis visiting the site under armed guard, an army spokesperson said.
Israeli media reported that up to 2,000 Israelis took part in the visit.
Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, the site was to remain under Israeli control. But the Israeli army evacuated the premises in October 2000 shortly after the start of the Second Intifada, and it was immediately damaged and burnt by Palestinians.
Following security cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli army allows Jewish worshipers to make monthly nocturnal pilgrimages to the site.
Joseph's Tomb is revered by Jews, Muslims, Christians and Samaritans.
