Demonstrations in support of the sacked head of the Palestinian preventive security force in the West Bank have spread to a second city.
Hundreds of Palestinians protested in Hebron in support of the dismissed official, Jibril Rajoub.
Colonel Rajoub - regarded as one of the most powerful figures in Palestinian society - was replaced by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Thursday as part of reforms.
The demonstrators - many of them officers from his West Bank force - called for his reinstatement and rejected his successor, former Jenin governor Zuheir al-Manasreh.
