Extremist Jewish settlers have been attacking Palestinians and Israeli soldiers there.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the paramilitary border police will replace soldiers on duty in the area. He says the police are better trained to deal with the recent clashes.
Security officials estimated Wednesday that 300 border police will be deployed in the Hebron area.
The unrest has taken place around a house where settlers have holed up in defiance of an Israeli Supreme Court eviction order. It is not clear whether the police were also being deployed to carry out that order.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday that the eviction order will be enforced.
