Huwara saw a night of violence on Sunday, as hundreds of settlers marched on the town to protest the killing of two young Jews, who were shot dead in their car by a Palestinian gunman, earlier in the day.
I counted 79 burnt wrecks of cars in a yard on the edge of the town. The owner, Sultan Farouq, lives beside the yard - black smoke marks cover the walls of his home.
Nawal was alone inside. She is 75 years old. She tried to put the fire out by pouring water over the balcony, but tear gas was shot at her. "She stayed here alone for 24 hours without anything, because no electricity, everything in the fridge was lost. She stayed alone," he told me. The rampage has caused outrage across the world, but on Wednesday, one of the most senior Israeli government ministers - Bezalel Smotrich, the far-right finance minister -"I want to be very clear about this. These comments were irresponsible. They were repugnant. They were disgusting," said a State Department spokesman.
