Israeli security forces removed a bomb on Monday from Joseph's Tomb in the West Bank, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
The bomb, found in a cell phone during security checks for about 1,000 worshipers, was removed from the tomb and detonated by security forces. Protestors threw stones at security forces upon their entry and departure to the site, damaging their bus but resulting in no casualties.
In addition, IDF forces seized two weapons during an operation in the village of Silwad, near Ramallah. Shin Bet and Israel Police arrested 11 suspected of terrorist activity overnight as well.
