mtydhd, you’re neither crazy nor paranoid. However, visitation to Hevron is setting records all the time and takes place safely. Incidents on the Jerusalem-Hevron road are few and far between (not to belittle the ones that do happen!). The army very much wants this road and the Jewish area of Hevron to be safe, for its own valid reasons and to avoid the bother of dealing with troubled civilians. By the way, all public buses that use the road south of Gush Etzion are bulletproof. If you’d like me to post the bus schedule, let me know and bs”d I’ll do it Sunday morning Israel time.
