NABLUS, April 14 – A former Israeli spy Tuesday overnight joined scores of settlers in storming Joseph’s Tomb in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, according to Israeli media.

Jonathan Pollard, an American who served a 30-year sentence for spying for the Israeli occupation, joined a convoy of buses packed with scores of fanatic Israeli settlers who broke into the site, located in the Palestinian-controlled area, where they performed talmudic rituals as Israeli occupation forces secured the location for them.

There are over 700,000 Israeli settlers living in settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Pollard, now 66, sold military secrets to the Israeli occupation while working as a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy in the 1980s. He was arrested in 1985 after trying unsuccessfully to gain asylum at the Israeli Embassy in Washington and pleaded guilty.
