Attack in West Bank town casts shadow over ongoing Israeli-Palestinian talks

Palestinian gunman opens fire at an Israeli vehicle in the occupied West Bank.

Attack comes as Israeli and Palestinian officials are meeting in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Meeting was the second attempt by the sides to end a year-long spasm of violence that has seen more than 200 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire.

Violence is one of the worst rounds between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in years.

Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed by Israel in 2022, making it the deadliest year in those territories since 2004.

85 Palestinians have been killed this year, according to a tally by The Associated Press.
