At least one Palestinian was killed early on Friday and eight others were arrested during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Hebron, witnesses said.

According to the Palestinian security sources, the Israeli army has so far arrested eight Palestinians.

The Israel Radio reported that the operation was launched to arrest a number of wanted Palestinians, who carried out terrorist acts against Israeli targets.
