Terrorism figures break records: Just yesterday we received a reminder of the dire situation and the increase in terrorism with two attacks in which an Israeli citizen, Ronen Hanania, was also murdered in the Kiryat Arba shooting attack and another drive-by attack at the Nabi Samuel intersection. Today (Monday) it is published in Yediot Ahronoth that this year has seen an increase in terrorist attacks , a record in terrorist incidents and murders from terrorist actions since 2015.
25 murdered in 2,204 attacks
According to the data, although the IDF and the Shin Bet prevented more than 380 terrorist attacks this year, the terrorist incidents this year stand at 2,204 incidents, and unfortunately, 25 Israeli civilians were killed in them, before the year was even over. For comparison, in 2015, the previous record year for attacks, the number was 29 murdered in 2,558 attacks, and that was the year of the Knife Intifada.

Even last year, when the IDF launched the ‘Guardian of the Walls’ operation, the record of 20 deaths from terrorist attacks was cut, when in 2021, 2,135 terrorist attacks were carried out. became a scene of conflict between the terrorists and the IDF.
The IDF’s response and the ‘Break the Wave’ operation
As a reminder, since the wave of murderous attacks began, the IDF has been conducting an extensive operation, Operation ‘Guardian of the Walls’, when IDF fighters arrest wanted persons throughout Judea and Samaria during the night, when 8 wanted persons were arrested tonight. As I recall, one of the organizations that caused the hetero wave was the Lions’ Den organization, which the IDF severely damaged, and in the end the organization’s operatives turned themselves over to the Palestinian Authority for fear that the IDF would damage them.
