The Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza (COGAT), Major General Yoav Mordechai, decided on Thursday evening to revoke the residence permit for thousands of Palestinian Arabs in the Hevron area, following the stabbing attack occurred in Tel Aviv which was carried out by a terrorist from the Hevron area.
Channel 10 News reported that some 10,000 permits will be revoked, due to the fact that the stabber was a resident of Hevron who had legal permission to work in a restaurant in Tel Aviv.
