The Jewish Community of Hebron asserts that the existence of a strong
military presence in Hebron and a normalized permanent civilian community allows for
tracking of terrorists and prevention of greater infiltration into other areas of
Israel. The community calls for increased zoning permits for city growth and greater
deterrence against the jihadist attacks.
