A group of Israelis rioted near the Yitzhar settlement in the West Bank on Tuesday, following a terror attack in which local settler Eviatar Borovzky was stabbed to death by a Palestinian.

The demonstrators tried to block a road close to the Yitzhar settlement, and some attempted to establish a tent encampment adjacent to the scene of the murder. Security forces stopped settlers from entering the Palestinian village of Yatma.

Protesters set fields on fire in the Palestinain villages of Burin and Hawara. They also threw stones at two Palestinian school buses that were driving through no Route 60, wounding two girls.

A resident of the settlement Elon Moreh was also attacked, after being mistakenly identified as a Palestinian. Upon being spotted, calls of "Arab, Arab," were issued and he was attacked by stone-throwers. The man was lightly wounded and received medical attention at the scene.

Yitzhar settlers also smashed the window of a mosque in the Palestinian village of Urif and tried to set it on fire.

Six settlers have been arrested, including two teenage girls.

During a confrontation at Tapuah Junction, IDF Colonel Yoav Yarom, commander of Samaria Brigade, was at one point surrounded by protesters. His attempts to grab one them were thwarted by the crowd.

Firefighters deployed to the area reported several instances in which settlers tried to prevent them from putting the fires out, but they managed to continue with their operations.

Borovsky is the first Israeli to be killed in the West Bank since September 2011.

Earlier on Tuesday, Rabbi of Samaria Elyakim Levanon said that the government should annex all of the West Bank as a 'price tag' action in response to the murder.
