A magazine article from Walla! examines the deceptive calm in Hebron ahead of 'Shabbat Chayei Sarah', the fear of a 'reversal of nests' scenario after the death of Abu Mazen, and the warnings of officers in the Judea and Samaria Division who call the reinforcement of forces a 'band-aid' and warn of a loss of control.

A magazine article by Amir Bohbot from Walla! examines the relative calm in Hebron ahead of the 'Shabbat Chayei Sarah' events, and the fear of a 'reversal of nests' scenario following the expected death of Abu Mazen. The article describes an attack on Route 35 about two weeks ago, in which two IDF soldiers and two terrorists were killed, and the reinforced deployment in the city. Officers in the Judea and Samaria Division call the reinforcement of forces a 'band-aid' and warn of a loss of control. Residents in the Jewish settlement express doubts about the effectiveness of military operations and point to economic distress on the Palestinian side. The article also deals with extreme scenarios of multi-front combat and the need for a conceptual change in the Central Command.
