The '''2002 Hebron ambush''' took place in the Wadi an-Nasara neighborhood in [[Hebron]] in the West Bank on 15 November 2002. Israeli forces were subjected to a double attack by fighters from the [[Palestinian Islamic Jihad]]. The battle was referred to in Israel as "'''The attack on the worshippers' route'''", {{lang-he|הפיגוע בציר המתפללים}}.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-2696873,00.html| title = כתב אישום: תכנן את הפיגוע בציר המתפללים בחברון (Indictment: He planned the attack on worshipers' route in Hebron)| publisher = Yedioth Acharonoth | author= Felix Frisch | date= 17 July 2003 | access-date =13 November 2011 }}</ref> The place where the attack took place became known as the "'''Alley of Death'''" both in Hebrew and Arabic. The ambush was initially dubbed as the "'''Sabbath massacre'''" ({{lang-he|טבח השבת}}) by official Israeli spokespersons.

The attacks were carried out in a narrow alley, off the passage from [[Tomb of the Patriarchs]] to the south gate of [[Kiryat Arba]], by three Palestinian fighters. Twelve Israeli soldiers and security guards, including three high-ranking officers, were killed in the battle, as were all three of the Palestinian fighters.

==The attack==
One of the fighters positioned himself near the front of the entry gate of Kiryat Arba from Hebron. The remaining two fighters positioned themselves near the a narrow alley, off the road used as a passage by Jewish worshipers heading to [[Kiryat Arba]] from the [[Tomb of the Patriarchs]].

Four [[Nahal Brigade]] soldiers on patrol, accompanied by Border Police jeeps were heading out of the "[[Worshippers Way]]" after patrol that area. In addition, two additional Nahal soldiers were positioned in an observation post located nearby and several more IDF soldiers were located near the exit gate of Kiryat Arba.

A group of settlers from [[Kiryat Arba]] had visited the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron for a Sabbath eve service and were escorted back to the settlement by Israeli military. A few minutes after the all clear signal rang, signaling that all the settlers had safely returned to Kiryat Arba, the first bullets were fired.<ref name = Harel>{{cite news |url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/analysis-the-attack-in-hebron-was-not-a-massacre-1.28114 |title =The attack in Hebron was not a 'massacre' | publisher = Haaretz | author= Amos Harel | date=17 November 2002}}</ref>

At 6:55 pm the Palestinian fighters opened fire simultaneously on a group of soldiers guarding the south gate of Kiryat Arba and a patrol passing through a narrow alley leading from the [[Tomb of the Patriarchs]] to Kiryat Arba. Two soldiers in the alley were wounded. One IDF paramedic was killed trying to evacuate the wounded.<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Government/Communiques/2002/12+Israelis+Killed+in+Sabbath+Eve+attack+in+Hebron.htm | title = 12 Israelis Killed in Sabbath Eve attack in Hebron | publisher = MFA | author= IDF Spokesperson | date= 16 November 2002| access-date=10 November 2011}}</ref>

The Palestinian fighters moved positions frequently during the more than 4 hours of fighting creating the impression that many more fighters were involved. They lured Israeli forces off the "Path of Worshipers" into the narrow alley, later known as the "Alley of Death".

Minutes later Border Police Superintendent Samih Sweidan arrived at the scene and drove immediately into the alley to engage the Palestinian fighters and evacuate the wounded. He and his driver were shot to death, apparently at point-blank range, as they stepped out of their jeep. Meanwhile, one of the wounded trapped in the alley died of his wounds. The attack had hardly lasted five minutes and already four Israeli soldiers were dead. A few minutes later a fifth soldier was shot and killed. The killed and wounded soldiers remained in the exposed alley.<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART/932/957.html | title = לבד, בסמטה, מול מלאך המוות (Alone in the alley, facing the angel of death) | publisher = NRG (Maariv) | author= Kalman Liebeskind | date= 13 May 2005 | access-date=10 November 2011}}</ref>

Around 7:15 pm the Palestinian fighters ceased fire, creating the impression that they had run away. At this time the commander of the IDF Hebron Brigade, Colonel Dror Weinberg arrived at the scene. He quickly organized a force of three jeeps and entered the alley. When Weinberg reached Sweidan's jeep he was hit by a bullet and severely wounded. After being evacuated he died from his wounds, becoming the highest ranking Israeli casualty of the Second Intifada.

Before being hit Col. Weinberg had contacted the settler's security service, the Kiryat Arba Emergency Response Team. Around 7:40 pm the head of the response team, Yitzhak Buanish, entered the alley together with a force consisting of his own men and Border Police soldiers. As in the previous rescue attempts, they were ambushed. Buanish and two of his colleagues were killed and another five wounded. Two Border Police officers were also killed in the incident. The first Palestinian fighter was probably killed in this incident as well.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

At 7:50 pm the IDF entered the alley with armored personal carriers and started engaging the Palestinians. Firing continued until 8:15 pm when the Palestinians stopped firing back and the dead and wounded soldiers could be evacuated. But fighting flared up again.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

Control over the situation was gradually restored with the arrival of reinforcements and commanding officers. Lieutenant Colonel Eran, head of the [[Nahal Brigade]] in Hebron, and soldiers from the [[Duvdevan]] elite unit, rushed to Hebron from Ramallah, outflanked the two remaining gunmen and killed them. That was close to 11:30 pm, more than four hours after the attack started.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

==The Islamic Jihad fighters==
The attack was carried out by three members of the [[al-Quds Brigades|Jerusalem Brigades]], the military wing of the [[Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine]]. According to a statement by the Jerusalem Brigades the attack was intended as a revenge for Israel's killing of the regional Islamic Jihad leader [[Iyad Sawalha]] in [[Jenin]] earlier in the week as well as "other crimes against our people".<ref name=Saraya>{{cite web | url = http://www.saraya.ps/forum/showthread.php?t=15591 | title = الكمين الأعظم عملية زقاق الموت ملف كامل (The great ambush, the Alley of Death operation, the complete file) | publisher = Saraya al-Quds web site | access-date = 7 November 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120401201303/http://www.saraya.ps/forum/showthread.php?t=15591 | archive-date = 1 April 2012 | url-status = dead}}</ref> According to Israel, Sawalha was responsible for two suicide bombings that killed 31 Israelis.<ref name=bbc20021117>{{cite news|title=Israel tightens grip on Hebron|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2483123.stm|newspaper=BBC|date=17 November 2002}}</ref>

The three fighters were all in their early 20s and enrolled as engineering students at the [[Palestine Polytechnic University|Hebron Polytechnic]]. According to Palestinian sources they had prepared the ambush for more than two months, scouting the area of the attack thoroughly and especially studying Israeli security arrangements along the road between the Cave of the Patriarchs and Kiryat Arba. The operation was planned as a suicide attack and the participants had written their customary wills.<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.saraya.ps/index.php?act=Show&id=1726 | title = سرايا القدس: تنشر تفاصيل عملية "زقاق الموت" البطولية بمدينة الخليل (The Jerusalem Brigades publishes the details of the heroic "Alley of Death" operation in the city of Hebron) | publisher = Saraya al-Quds web site | date= 31 August 2009 | access-date=20 October 2011}}</ref>

== The hunt for "Muhannad" ==
Muhammad Sidr was a gifted student at the [[Hebron University]], where he became active in the Islamic Jihad student organization. After graduation he went underground and adopted the cover name "Muhannad". After the killing of a settler in [[Givat Harsina]], [[Shin Bet]] realized that Sidr was an important figure in the [[Jerusalem Brigades]], the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In fact, Sidr was the military head in Hebron. Sidr was steadily building a network of cells of four-five members each.

Dror Weinberg early noticed Sidr and made a lot of efforts to catch or kill him. Somehow Sidr always managed to slip away. In December 2001, Sidr was the target of an assassination operation. An Israeli Helicopter fired a missile at the car Sidr was riding in, but it missed its target and hit another car with a civilian family inside, killing two children. "Sidar [sic] is always one step ahead of us", Weinberg complained.<ref name= Dror></ref>

Instead of Weinberg ambushing Sidr, it would be Sidr ambushing his nemesis. One of Sidr's cells would stage the Hebron ambush, in which Weinberg was killed.<ref name= Dror >{{cite news | url= https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/.premium-how-israel-avenged-the-ambush-of-col-dror-weinberg-1.8803017 | title = How an Islamic Jihad mastermind ambushed his Israeli nemesis, and how his death was avenged | publisher = Haaretz | author= Yossi Melman | date= 27 April 2020 | accessdate= 20 September 2021}}</ref>
A month later another of Sidr's cells would kill two soldiers outside the Abraham mosque. Two weeks later, a third cell would attack the [[Yeshivat Otniel shooting|military yeshiva]] near Hebron.

Eventually, The Shin Bet would catch up with "Muhannad". In 2003, he was cornered in a building in Hebron and killed in the shoot-out.<ref name= Dror></ref>

A month later [[Majid Abu Dosh]] was killed in similar circumstances outside Hebron. According to Haaretz Abu Dosh was "considered the "operations officer" of Islamic Jihad in the Hebron area, and the right-hand man of Islamic Jihad leader Mohammed Sidr. Abu-Dosh is said to have planned the attack on Worshipers' Way in Hebron."<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/idf-kills-hebron-area-jihad-leader-1.100351 | title = IDF kills Hebron-area Jihad leader | publisher = Haaretz | author= Amos Harel and Arnon Regular | date= 17 September 2003 | access-date=20 October 2011}}</ref>

==Israeli responsive actions==
{{see also|Worshippers Way}}

The Palestinian-administered part of Hebron was re-occupied by Israeli forces and a curfew was declared throughout the city. The curfew remained in force for more than six months. Four Palestinian houses were demolished by the IDF.<ref name="UNNov02">[http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/85255db800470aa485255d8b004e349a/48a40ca00c3be03d85256c910074441f!OpenDocument UN Docs] Chronological Review of Events November 2002 {{dead link|date=May 2014}}</ref>

Prime Minister [[Ariel Sharon]] told IDF commanders in Hebron two days after the incident that a territorial continuity between the settlement of Kiryat Arba and the Jewish section of Hebron must be created and the safety of the Jews living in the divided city be ensured, reducing to a minimum the presence of Palestinians in the area in which the settlers live.<ref name=Haaretz_calls>[http://www.haaretz.com/news/pm-calls-for-territorial-continuity-from-kiryat-arba-to-hebron-1.28127 ''PM calls for territorial continuity from Kiryat Arba to Hebron''].

The mayor of Kiryat Arba, ''Zvi Katsover'', called on the government to "clean up the area" by destroying Palestinian buildings along a road connecting Kiryat Arba to Hebron.<ref name=Haaretz_calls/><ref name=voa20021117>{{cite news | url= http://www.voanews.com/content/a-13-a-2002-11-17-9-sharon/392049.html | title = Sharon: 'Now Is the Time to Expand Jewish Control Over Hebron' - 2002-11-17| publisher = Voice of America | date= 17 November 2002}}</ref> The Kiryat Arba Council and the council of settlers in Hebron's Jewish enclave requested building of 1,000 housing units between Kiryat Arba and the Tomb of the Patriarchs. Housing and Construction Minister Natan Sharansky supported the plan and ordered his ministry's workers to review the possibility of expropriating lands in the city and using them for Jewish residential purposes.<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/hebron-settlers-plan-to-build-1-000-units-in-new-neighborhood-1.27951 ''Hebron settlers plan to build 1,000 units in new neighborhood'']. Amos Harel and Nadav Shragai, Haaretz, 19 November 2002</ref>

On 29 November 2002 the Israel Defense Forces issued the "Decree Number 61/02/T to Expropriate Property" with the purpose to expropriate an 8.2 [[dunam]] large area in Hebron and to create a 6 to 12 meter wide corridor linking the Jewish settlement in Hebron with Kiryat Arba. According to the American administration and Israeli sources close to the planning, the aim of the expropriation of the land and the building of the promenade was to create territorial contiguity between Kiryat Arba and Hebron.<ref name=Haaretz_pernicious>[http://www.haaretz.com/culture/arts-leisure/pernicious-promenade-1.25658 ''Pernicious promenade'']. Esther Zandberg, Haaretz, 12 December 2002</ref> The military order was appealed to the High Court of Justice. The petition was rejected by the High Court after the IDF declared that they intended to demolish only two houses.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/high-court-gives-idf-go-ahead-to-demolish-two-hebron-houses-1.115905 | title = High Court gives IDF go-ahead to demolish two Hebron houses}}</ref> In August 2004, three of the 22 buildings originally considered for demolition were destroyed.
On 30 December a Palestinian teenager Imran Abu Hamadiya (17 years old) was apprehended by a Border Police patrol from his home near the Cave of the Patriarchs and found dead near the Hebron Industrial zone 20 minutes later.<ref name= BTselem >{{cite web | url = http://www.btselem.org/download/200308_hebron_area_h2_eng.doc | title = Status Report Hebron, Area H-2, Settlements Cause Mass Departure of Palestinians | publisher = B’Tselem | editor= Yael Stein| date= August 2003}}</ref> After an investigation four border policemen were arrested. Apparently the young man had been beaten and then thrown out of the patrol car at full speed.

== Reports and reactions ==
Official Israeli spokesmen initially described the battle as a massacre of civilian Israeli settlers returning from Sabbath prayers. Gilad Millo, spokesman of the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Israel)|Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], originally called the attack as the "Sabbath massacre," and Israel's Foreign Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] released a statement, calling the event "The cold-blooded attack on civilians whose only 'sin' was to go to a holy place of worship on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath and on those people assigned to protect them".International media outlets initially reported that the Palestinian ambush had targeted both settlers and soldiers.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-11-16/news/0211160148_1_kiryat-arba-west-bank-settlers |title = 12 Israelis die in Hebron attack | publisher = Chicago Tribune | author=Christine Spolar | date= 16 November 2002}}</ref> The following day army officials said that only soldiers or security personnel were hurt in the ambush.<ref name=Harel /> [[Matan Vilnai]] a former general and a leading Labour Party politician admitted that "[i]t wasn't a massacre, it was a battle."<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1118/p06s01-wome.html | title = Israelis reinterpret a Hebron raid | publisher = The Christian Science Monitor | author= Nicole Gaouette | date= 18 November 2002}}</ref> On 15 November, the Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General [[Kofi Annan]] condemned "the despicable terrorist attack... that today killed 10 Jewish worshippers on their way to the Sabbath eve prayers...

==Aftermath==

The IDF conduct during the Hebron ambush was exposed to a lot of bitter criticism. Many settlers blamed the death of the three Kiryat Arba security men on the "cowardice" of IDF soldiers.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/hebron-ambush-scene-dubbed-death-alley-1.28141 |title = Hebron ambush scene dubbed 'Death Alley' | publisher = H | author= [[Amos Harel]] and Ido Shai | date=17 November 2002 | access-date=17 September 2011}}</ref> Three Israeli officers were dismissed from their posts in December 2002 for their personal failures in the Hebron ambush. The death of several high-ranking officers created a "command vacuum" that the remaining officers proved unable to fill, creating "a situation in which the decision-making fell into the hands of civilians (local settlers)", that is the Response Team members. "When civilians command the army - this is not an acceptable situation as far as we are concerned."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/3-idf-officers-to-be-dismissed-following-report-on-hebron-attack-1.25472 |title =3 IDF officers to be dismissed following report on Hebron attack | author= Amos Harel | publisher = Haaretz | date= 13 December 2002| access-date=17 September 2011}}</ref>

In the site where the battle took place the "Giborim outpost" (מאחז הגיבורים) was constructed which originally included a small number of temporary structures and tents housed by the number of young people and families who demanded to build a neighborhood in the site in memory of the fallen. 30 days after the incident the outpost was evacuated by the Israel military forces. Since then the area has been declared as a 'closed military area' by the local IDF commander.<ref>[http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/42358#.Tr71aHtcy60 Giborim Outpost Activists Arrested - Latest News Briefs - Israel National News]</ref>

On 12 December, two Palestinian fighters from [[Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine|Islamic Jihad]] walked up to two Israeli Military Policemen, from the [[Sahlav]] unit, doing guard duty outside the Cave of the Patriarchs and shot them point-blank.
