Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians in the West Bank city of Nablus, Palestinian sources say.

Israel's army said it had killed a senior member of the Islamic Jihad militant group in the strike but could not confirm the second reported death.

The militant, Tarek Jumea Abu Ali, 24, was wanted by Israel for instigating attacks, Israel's army said.

The Israeli army said the militant died in an exchange of fire, and that explosive devices and weapons were found in his flat.

But neighbours say the two men died in an explosion.

The violence came as the ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip went into its sixth day.
