In October of 2000 Arabs (Palestinians) destroyed the Tomb of Joseph in Shechem (Nablus) and afterwards tried to convert it into a mosque.

Within hours, Joseph's Tomb was reduced to a smoldering heap of rubble. Within two days, as an Associated Press dispatch reported, "the dome of the tomb was painted green and bulldozers were seen clearing the surrounding area," as the Palestinian Arabs sought to transform the biblical Joseph's resting place into a Moslem holy site.[1]
