Who exactly were the hebrews and when did they first come to be known in the history of the fertile crescent?
The Jewish people are descendants of Abraham, whose Semitic ancestors lived in the Fertile Crescent and who lived most of his life in the Middle Eastern country of Israel (Canaan) 3800 years ago. Abraham is called a Hebrew (Genesis ch.14) because Hebrew (Ivrim) means descendants of Eber (Ever). Ever was an anscestor of Abraham (Genesis ch.10-11) and the early Hebrews were Abraham's uncles and cousins for several generations back. They were Western Semites and lived in northern Mesopotamia, near the confluence of the Balikh and the Euphrates.
Abraham gave birth to Isaac and Isaac gave birth to Jacob. Jacob was later renamed Israel (Genesis ch.35), which is why we're called Israelites. There were 12 sons of Israel, who formed the 12 tribes. The Israelites worshiped One God. One thousand years after Jacob, the bulk of the tribes were exiled to points unknown. The only tribes left were Judah, Benjamin and part of Levi. The few who remained from the other tribes joined the Tribe of Judah; and modern Jews are mainly descendants of this tribe (the word "Jew" comes from Judah). Even now, through DNA analysis, Jewish communities worldwide have been shown to come from a common Middle Eastern tribe. The Cohanim, a family of the tribe of Levi, also share common genetics.
Today, "Judaism" and "Jewish" refer to all members of the tribes of Israel.

What is the importants of the Fertile Crescent?
The fertile crescent is seen as the first place that man moved from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled lifestyle and began to farm crops intentionally (rather than just moving to where edible plants grew themselves). This is known as the agricultural revolution and is seen as a critical point in the history of mankind. The reason that civilization effectively started in the fertile crescent is complicated and not entirely understood, but it is known as an unusually fertile area of land (hence the name) and located in an area where the vast majority of farmable animals can survive and are available. The pivotal role of the fertile crescent in the development of human civilization is discussed in two excellent books: The Ascent of Man, by Jacob Bronowski and Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond Both of these books have been made into TV documentaries, which I highly recommend if you are interested in this subject.

The region's fertile soil and access to water allowed for the development of agriculture, writing systems, and complex societies, which are central themes in the Old Testament narratives.
