"Fire was opened at Israeli civilian vehicles on Route 35, near Hebron, and we're conducting widespread searches for the perpetrators ... an Israeli civilian was killed," an army spokeswoman said on Monday.
A separate army statement said two other Israelis were wounded.
Israeli military radio said the victim was a man and that his wife and one of their children were those hurt.
It was unclear if they were Israeli settlers living in the occupied West Bank.

Gaza rulers Hamas and fellow Islamist movement Islamic Jihad praised the attack, linking it to recent unrest in the flashpoint Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem's Old City.
"Hamas praises the heroic Hebron operation and considers it a result of the occupation's (Israel) oppression and crimes against our people and holy places, including the Al-Aqsa mosque," a statement said.
Neither group is claiming responsibility.
On Sunday, Israeli police arrested five people after Palestinians clashed with security forces at the compound.
Police said "stones and Molotov cocktails" were thrown at officers, who responded using stun grenades.
