One Palestinian died on Wednesday and at least three were wounded by live fire as Israeli settlers attacked the West Bank village of Turmus Aya, according to the Palestinian health ministry. 

The mayor of Turmus Aya said that nearly 60 vehicles and 30 house were set on fire by about 400 settlers on Wednesday afternoon. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the riots saying that Israel "is a state of law."

"The citizens of Israel are all obligated to respect the law. We will not accept riots either in the Golan Heights or in Judea and Samaria," he stated, referring to today's violent protests of the Druze community against the construction of wind turbines in the Golan Heights. 

"I give full backing to the Israel Police and the security forces in their actions to control law and order," Netanyahu said. "We are a country a law." 

Residents of Jewish settlements in the West Bank rioted and torched Palestinian property, following a deadly terror attack on Tuesday. Hamas-affiliated terrorists murdered three young Israelis dining in a restaurant, and a fourth at a gas station.

Hamas said on Wednesday that the attacks on Turmus Aya "will be met with more resistance" and that the Israeli government "bears full responsibility for its repercussions." 

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) earlier called on Israelis not to take the law into their own hands. Regardless, several violent incidents were committed as vigilante revenge attacks in multiple Palestinian localities throughout the West Bank, including former flashpoint Huwara.

"Security forces entered the town in order to extinquish the fires, prevent clashes and to collect evidence. The Israeli civilians exited the town and the Israel Police opened an investigation into the event," the military statement said regarding the events in Turmus Aya. 

"The IDF condemns these serious incidents of violence and destruction of property. Such events the IDF and security forces from focusing on their main mission - maintaining the security of the State of Israel and peventing terrorism," it stressed. 

Channel 12 News reported eight Palestinians were wounded by live fire shot from local Jewish residents, during the riots that have also damaged nearly 15 houses.  More than 20 vehicles were also burned.

The riots happened as the youngest victim of the terror attack in Eli, Nahman Shmuel Mordoff, killed at 17 years old, was laid to rest on Wednesday. Ofer Fairman, 63, and Elisha Anteman, another teenager of 18, were buried at the Eli cemetery, one day apart. Harel Masood, 21, had a funeral in the Yesodot cemetery near Rehovot.

In response to the terror attack, Jewish rioters threw stones, set fire to cars, damaged several buildings and agricultural fields, and committed numerous other acts of vandalism against Palestinian property. There were also reports of gunfire, and the provocations led to violent clashes. IDF soldiers were dispatched to restore calm, resulting in three Israelis being arrested.

Many Palestinians had also taken to the streets to confront Jewish rioters and the Israeli security forces. They threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the soldiers, who retaliated with riot dispersal equipment. According to the Palestinian media, 36 people were injured, most of them by tear gas.

These scenes of violence are reminiscent of riots on February 26, which took place in response to a terror attack that claimed the lives of two brothers, Hillel and Yigal Yaniv, in Huwara. Angered Israeli settlers from nearby communities had also descended on the Palestinian town where the terrorist attack happened.
