Two Israelis and a Palestinian were shot dead Friday in separate incidents in and around the West Bank city of Hebron, the army and medical sources said.
An unknown assailant opened fire on a car south of the city, the army said, killing a father and son and wounding a teenager.
"Two Israelis were murdered and one injured when shots were fired at their vehicle near Hebron" in a "terrorist" attack, the army said.
A statement added that the attacker fled and that "forces are currently searching the area."
Israeli police said the incident took place near the settlement of Otniel, south of Hebron.
Shortly after, a Palestinian was shot dead during clashes with the army in Hebron, Palestinian medics said.
Hassan al-Bo, 21, died after he was hit in the heart by live ammunition, an official at Al-Ahli Hospital said.
Violence since the start of October, including a wave of Palestinian knife, gun and car-ramming attacks, has killed 79 people on the Palestinian side -- including one Israeli Arab -- and 12 Israelis.
Many of the Palestinians killed were alleged attackers shot at the scene, while others died in clashes.
The violence was originally focused in and around Jerusalem but has recently shifted to the area of Hebron.
Earlier Friday, a Palestinian teenager in Hebron succumbed to his wounds after being shot by Israeli troops a day earlier.
