Hundreds of Palestinians have clashed with Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Nablus.

The latest trouble follows the killing of an elderly Palestinian man near Nablus yesterday in what appeared to be revenge for the murder of a Jewish settler near Hebron earlier.

More than one-thousand mourners attended the settler's funeral amid demands that the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, reject the latest land-for-peace deal with the Palestinians.

The BBC correspondent in Jerusalem says both sides are braced for more violence by militant Palestinian and Jewish groups opposed to the deal.
