A Palestinian gunman on Sunday opened fire at an Israeli car in the occupied West Bank, killing two Israelis, senior politicians and Israeli settler leaders said. The shooting cast a shadow over a high-level meeting between Palestinian and Israeli delegations in neighbouring Jordan meant to reduce surging violence ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The shooting came days after a deadly Israeli military raid in the nearby Palestinian city of Nablus, in which 11 Palestinians were killed in a gun battle. The military said it was searching for the attacker, who opened fire on a car on the West Bank's main highway and fled.
