Some 100 Breslov Hasidim entered the Palestinian village of Kifl Haris on Monday night to protest the lack of access to the graves of Yehoshua Ben Nun and Caleb Ben Yefuna, according to Israel Police.
The Hasidim, followers of convicted sex offender Eliezer Berland, claim that Palestinian residents threw stones at them, injuring two, according to N12.
The two declined to be transported to the hospital, fearing arrest for draft evasion, N12 wrote.
Police and IDF forces were called to the scene, but those involved had already left the area by the time they arrived. Forces found damaged Palestinian vehicles and stones at the scene, the Police stated.
An investigation was opened, revealing the identities of several individuals involved. Five suspects, Jerusalem residents between 16 and 20 years old, were arrested near the Hizma crossing.
Hasidim break into Joseph's Tomb
This comes months after dozens of Breslov Hasidim broke into Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus, barricading themselves inside after crossing into Palestinian-controlled territory without IDF coordination in March.
Nablus is classified as Area A, under the security control of the Palestinian Authority.
