| [IsraelTimes] Young Hebron male residents to be distanced from Jewish settlement; army said set to separate Jews, Paleostinians at Etzion Junction The army began implementing a series of dramatic new measures on Thursday to separate the Jewish and Paleostinians populations in the West Bank in an attempt to curb the stabbing attacks that have plagued the area in recent weeks, an IDF official said. Hebron and the Etzion Bloc have seen nearly daily attacks against civilians and security forces in the past week. In response, the IDF said that it would not allow Paleostinian males between the ages of 15 and 25 to pass through Hebron's Jewish settlement, except those that live in the surrounding area, who will be forced to undergo a thorough security check. Meanwhile, ...back at the mall, Clarissa suddenly spied Mr. Bartlett at the checkout counter. He was buying Grecian Formula!... an Etzion Bloc council leader said soldiers would separate Paleostinian and Jewish residents at the Etzion Junction that has been the site of multiple terror attacks. "In Hebron, since October 1, a total of 13 stabbing attacks or foiled attempts were carried out by Paleostinians against civilians and security forces," an IDF spokeswoman told The Times of Israel. In nearly every one of these cases, the Paleostinian attackers were rubbed out by forces on the scene. "In light of this reality, beginning on the morning of October 29, in accordance with a security assessment, several precautionary measures were taken in order to prevent potential attacks in the future and maintain the safety and well-being of Israelis," she said. In addition to the age restriction for passing through the Hebron Jewish settlement, the IDF will close off all the Paleostinian parking lots in the area until further notice. The Etzion Bloc, a cluster of Jewish settlements south of Jerusalem, has also seen a spate of stabbing attacks. On Wednesday, a Jewish woman was stabbed in the back outside of a supermarket. The head of the regional council, Davidi Perl, met with the local IDF brigade commander to develop new strategies to prevent future attacks, the council announced in an email to residents on Thursday evening. "We decided upon a meaningful change in the defense approach for the area surrounding the Gush Etzion Junction," Perl wrote in the email. "In the area around the bloc's junction, soldiers will keep Paleostinians from being in contact with the Jewish population to the extent that they can," he said. "Additional troops will reinforce the area and will carry out thorough searches. All of these decisions were made with the full support of the [West Bank] division commander and the [Central] Command general, who are in constant contact with me," Perl said. The IDF did not respond to requests for verifications of Perl's assertions or further information about the army's plans for the Etzion Bloc. "In the past two weeks we have experienced, almost every day, a series of serious terror attacks in the Etzion Bloc. To our dismay, according to our intelligence assessment, we do not see an end in sight and do not identify a decrease in the terrorists' motivation to attack," Perl said. |
