JERUSALEM — Two Israelis were killed and one other seriously wounded after a Palestinian assailant opened fire at two locations in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, Israeli authorities said, the latest in a spate of shootings. “We will spare no effort to find this perpetrator and bring him to justice,” Conricus said in a news briefing. The army confirmed later that the dead Israeli was a soldier, Staff Sgt. Islamic Jihad said the settlement of Ariel, not far from where the shooting occurred, was built on land stolen from the Palestinians. “The voice came from the West Bank to alert everyone to the basic contradiction of the occupation,” said Daoud Shihab, an Islamic Jihad spokesman.
