ERUSALEM — An assailant opened fire on Israeli motorists in the West Bank on Monday, killing a man and wounding a woman and a boy in two separate cars, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The attack could further complicate U.S. attempts to salvage troubled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

The shooting took place just before the start of the weeklong Jewish holiday of Passover, marked by families gathering after sundown for a ritual meal, or seder.

Police said the shooting took place near a crossing between Israel and the southern West Bank. Israeli TV stations said a gunman stood by the side of the road and opened fire as cars with Israeli license plates approached.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a man was killed and a woman wounded in one vehicle, and that a boy was lightly hurt by bullet fragments in a second car.

1. Thanks for posting this it was a tragic incident

that said I wonder does anyone think it strange that the death of 1 Israeli settler makes midwest US papers while 10's or at times even hundreds of Palestinians can be killed with barely a blip in the US, no question who's lives are considered more valuable, thanks for proving that to us

Happy Pesach to you and you family

2. Well, when the hasbarists beat the drum and label Palestinians as

terrorists what do you believe the average low-IQ American is going to think?

Either way killing is abhorrent.
