Three Palestinians accused by Israel of carrying out a recent spate of attacks have been shot dead in an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian media said the men belonged to the military wing of President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.
Israeli police said they were killed after trying to shoot at an undercover unit in Nablus. The Palestinian Authority called it an "execution".
It is the highest single death toll in an action of this kind for months.
In September, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli operation in the West Bank. Israel said all five belonged to the Gaza-based militant group Hamas, which said four were members.
In Tuesday's incident, the three Palestinians were shot dead inside a silver vehicle parked by the side of road. Pictures showed the windscreen and the bonnet riddled with bullet holes.
