Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, clashes occurred between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces at Aroub Camp in Hebron, West Bank. Israeli forces used tear gas and stun grenades, but there were no casualties, and this is assessed as a limited-scale incident with a 'low' rating.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Regional logistics restrictions: Hebron is a major city in southern West Bank, with potential for transportation delays within the region due to temporary road controls or strengthened checkpoints
• Agricultural product distribution: Hebron is a production area for agricultural products such as grapes and olives, raising concerns about indirect impacts on harvesting and transportation activities if instability continues
• Energy infrastructure: No direct damage to date, but potential exposure of vulnerabilities in regional electricity and fuel supply chains if the situation escalates
• Border control strengthening: Enhanced security in Israel-Palestine border areas expected to cause delays in goods movement inspection procedures

3. Watch points

• Situation escalation: Need to track the spread of protests to Hebron and other areas of West Bank and changes in the level of Israeli military response
• Border control level: Monitoring required for checkpoint operations between Israel and West Bank and the level of restrictions on commercial logistics movement
