The IDF built a small outpost today on Worshipers' Path between Kiryat Arba and Hevron. Situated on the site from which was removed the short-lived Hevron Heroes neighborhood last week, it will be permanently manned by a number of soldiers. Several dozen Peace Now protestors demonstrated against the Jewish construction in the area today.
Twelve soldiers and civilian volunteers were killed nearby in a terrorist ambush last month, and two more soldiers were murderously gunned down in the same area last week ten days ago. A watchtower is already up, and bulldozers are currently preparing the ground for permanent structures. It should be noted that many Jewish towns in Yesha started out as military outposts or bases.
