Two Palestinian fighters wanted by the Israeli government have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank, Palestinian officials and the army have said.
One died in the city of Nablus and the other in northern Tulkarem.
The army said its troops identified a vehicle carrying three wanted men in Nablus, surrounded it and opened fire when the men attempted to escape.
Rami Anab of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, was killed by the gunfire, the group said.
The army said two other Palestinians, who were injured in the shooting, had been taken to an Israeli hospital and questioned.
Power struggle
The army said all three men were responsible for recruiting suicide bombers and planning attacks against Israelis.
Palestinian officials said that Mohammed Hamad, an al-Aqsa commander, was shot down by undercover Israeli troops during the attack in Tulkarem.
The group said another man was arrested in the raid.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, and Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, announced a tentative ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on November 26, but it has not been extended to the West Bank where Israeli military operations continue.
The truce was seen as prelude to a renewed peace effort by the two sides.
On Tuesday, Olmert visited Jordan to discuss the stalled peace talks, Jordanian palace officials said.
"Agreement was reached on continuing co-ordination with the Palestinian Authority to discuss all the avenues that will allow reactivating the peace process," the palace source said.
Olmert's office said earlier he and King Abdullah talked about the Palestinian power struggle and other regional issues.
