Israeli man lightly hurt, car torched, after he mistakenly enters Palestinian town

If I ever get to Israel I plan to stick to public transportation — there can be serious consequences for taking a wrong turn over there.
[IsraelTimes] IDF rescues civilian who was attacked in West Bank’s Turmus Ayya; mayor says some locals protected him until army showed up

An Israeli man was attacked and lightly hurt by Paleostinians after mistakenly entering the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya on Sunday night, the military said.

The man’s car was set on fire after entering the town, footage posted by Paleostinian media outlets showed. The military said Paleostinians also hurled stones at the man.

The Israel Defense Forces said troops arrived at the scene, entered the town, and extracted the man.

"As the forces and the civilian left the town, a riot developed, during which several suspects threw a burning object and threw stones," the IDF said, adding that no soldiers were hurt.

Turmus Ayya Mayor Lafi Adeeb told the Kan public broadcaster that the Israeli man did not enter through the town’s main entrance, but through a side route, raising suspicions among residents.

Adeeb said a group of youths attacked the man and set fire to his car. Shortly after, other locals arrived and protected him,
...bless them for being Good Samaritans...
before the army arrived, he told Kan.

The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service said the man was treated for a minor wound to his hand as a result of a stone being hurled at him during the attack.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed that Israeli security forces would capture the assailants.

Turmus Ayya is located within Area B of the West Bank, under Israeli military control. It is not illegal for Israelis to enter Paleostinian towns in Area B (or Area C under full Israeli military and civil control), but is heavily discouraged by the military.

The incident came a day after a Paleostinian terrorist killed two Israeli men, a father and his son, while they were carrying out personal errands in the northern West Bank town of Huwara, also located within Area B. Shay Silas Nigreker, 60, and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir were shot to death at a carwash.
