Palestinian Protesters Set Fire to West Bank Jewish Shrine. Palestinian security forces in Nablus extinguish the blaze, disperse protesters

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Dozens of Palestinians set fire to a Jewish shrine in the West Bank city of Nablus on Friday, while Israeli security forces toughened security in Jerusalem to prevent fresh violence around the holy site at the heart of unrest.

The attack came as the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, called for “day of rage” protests in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem and reiterated its call for a third Palestinian intifada, or uprising.
