Settlers say IDF will postpone opening 'Zion Route' for Palestinians
The Jewish Community in Hebron claims that the IDF will postpone the opening of the Zion Route – linking the settlement of Kiryat Arba to the Tomb of the Patriarchs – for Palestinian traffic. The route was closed due to the numerous terror attacks that occurred on or near it.
The settlers said they welcomed the decision, and added that the Shin Bet chief concurred with their warnings that opening the route would be too dangerous. The IDF has yet to respond to the report. (Efrat Weiss)
