 commentedI discovered that this problem happens only on certain paragraphs. If I type and then delete a letter in that paragraph, the problem goes away and I can move the cursor in it as normal.  Anonymous

This issue seems to be caused by the use of precomposed Hebrew ligatures (like שׁ or וֹ) instead of standard decomposed Unicode sequences.
In particular, line breaks often occur inside words containing a Holam Vav (וֹ, U+FB4B), which InDesign misinterprets as a valid break point. Re-typing the word (or pasting it as plain text) normalizes the characters to standard Unicode (ו + ֹ), and the problem goes away.
You do not need to use a Zero Width Joiner. Just make sure the text is using decomposed Unicode characters. Copying Hebrew from Word or PDFs often introduces these ligatures, so normalizing the text or retyping it in InDesign is a better long-term fix.
