The body of an Israeli man has been found in a bullet-riddled car in the West Bank.
Palestinian security officials say the body was found in Beit Sahour.
Initial reports say the man, who also carried a foreign passport, had been kidnapped by gunmen.
Earlier, the two largest Palestinian militant factions said they will stick to a truce with Israel despite their accusations that Israel assassinated a West Bank militia leader.
Supporters of Raed Karmi took revenge just hours after his death killing an Israeli soldier and wounding an officer who had left their armoured personnel carrier to question two Palestinians at a checkpoint.
Israel did not confirm or deny involvement in the killing of Karmi, 27, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the West Bank town of Tulkarem.
Karmi had boasted of killing two Tel Aviv restaurant owners and was accused by Israel of having killed a total of nine Israelis. He survived an Israeli missile attack on his car in September.
Karmi's funeral procession wound through the streets of Tulkarem, with mourners carrying his body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag.
Militiamen shot in the air, and one shouted "settlers, beware."
The latest violence undermined US truce efforts, and it is not clear whether Washington mediator Anthony Zinni will return to the region later this week as planned.

There she is. The one, nine year old 'Pali' kid that speaks for the teeming masses of 'Pali' peace-niks. So, where's the sign she was holding calling for peace? Where's the quote where she condemns the suicide bombers? C'mon, don't hold back the good stuff.
Oh, and where's the pic of her being stoned to death minutes later by a minority crowd of several thousand 'Pali radicals'?
But where though? No Arab state will take them in.
Oh he's been here before. He's no newbie. Look up and you can see some of his former selves. And that ain't the horah he's doing.
No, it's a bribe for Egypt. You'll recall, Israel could have solved the Egyptian problem in 73, but didn't because it didn't fit US foreign policy objectives.
I have no idea what 'neo-cons' are let alone what they think. I DO know a 'Conservative' who posts Phil Reeves, loves Robert Fisk, and who points to Leftist peacenik groups belongs at DU, or smirkingchimp.com.
