In Israel, Palestinian rioters in mid-April twice damaged Joseph’s Tomb, a Jewish holy site under Palestinian Authority (PA) control in Area A of the West Bank.

‘Palestinians’ Threaten Violence Over Jewish ‘Provocations’ On Temple Mount
The Palestinians are whipping themselves into a frenzy over supposed attempts by the Zionists to take over the Temple Mount, to “storm” Al-Aqsa, and even to engage in the Jewish ritual killing of a Passover lamb on the Mount itself.

Israel: Islamic charity funded Hamas, four Muslims charged with plotting jihad massacres during Ramadan

Palestinian Authority TV falsely claims Jews began to ‘to curse Prophet Muhammad inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque’
