Twenty-four year old Ben-Yosef Livnat, a father of four from Jerusalem – and Minister Limor Livnat's nephew – was killed, and five others were wounded.
Palestinian sources reported local Palestinian youths gathered around the Tomb's compound shortly after the incident and set it on fire.
A group of Palestinian youngsters rolled burning tires into the Tomb's plaza, which was renovated only a few months ago.
A Palestinian source said black smoke towered over the gravesite, adding the sight was "reminiscent of the days of the Second Indifada."
