Israeli planning authorities have approved a building permit for a new dormitory at the Shavei Hevron Yeshiva in Hebron, ending an 18-year bureaucratic process. The facility, which will house 120 beds, is intended to alleviate overcrowding at the yeshiva, which currently has over 450 students. According to sources familiar with the matter, the permit was advanced through procedural changes introduced by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich at the Civil Administration. The dormitory will be located near the Beit Romano complex in the Jewish Quarter of Hebron. The announcement comes as part of ongoing development in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. The project had been stalled since approximately 2008.
