An hour after the attack in Hebron in which two IDF soldiers fell, the IDF executed demolition orders for 18 illegal structures. Following the demolition, businessmen from Hebron warned clans affiliated with Hamas against attacks that would endanger their property. The IDF says the general public in Judea and Samaria has been behaving with indifference over the past three years and refraining from violence, and that predictions of a third intifada are not materializing. A military source explains that the Palestinians are preoccupied with internal problems and economic calculations, and are deterred by the destruction the IDF saw in Gaza and southern Lebanon. The security establishment identifies attempts by Iran, Hamas, and Turkey to deploy terrorist cells, but for now the public remains indifferent and prefers routine.
