Palestinian killed in Israeli raid

A Palestinian man has been killed in an Israeli raid on a West Bank refugee camp, a witness said.

Israeli troops entered the El Fara camp north of Nablus early today in pursuit of a fugitive militant.

Emad Abu Kishik said residents began throwing stones at the troops, who responded with live fire, killing Ibrahim Sarhan.

The military said troops fired at a man who tried to evade arrest.

The military also said Israeli aircraft struck two suspected weapons manufacturing sites in the Gaza Strip overnight. A Palestinian woman was reported injured.

The military said the air strikes came in response to rocket fire from Gaza on Israel yesterday.

It said another rocket hit southern Israel this morning.

No-one was hurt in any of the rocket attacks.
