Following that, hundreds of extreme settlers set fire to homes, cars, and livestock as they rampaged through Huwara and neighboring towns, leaving one Palestinian dead (Sameh Aqtash) and numerous more seriously hurt.

Elan Ganeles, an Israeli-American, was killed by Palestinian terrorists the following day while traveling to a wedding in the Jordan Valley. The attack targeted several other Israeli drivers and another Israeli-owned vehicle in a different part of the West Bank, but no one was hurt.
