Seven thousand attacks That’s how frequently Palestinian Arab terrorists attacked or attempted to attack Israelis in Judea and Samaria during 2024, according to a sobering new report from SSF Rescuers Without Borders.
The emergency aid group’s findings, released Tuesday, paint a picture of relentless violence that claimed 27 lives and left 306 wounded, all outside the more publicized conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, or within Israel proper.
Most prevalent were rock-throwing incidents with 3,668 followed by fire bombs and Molotov cocktails at 843. Innocent Israelis were shot at 179 times across Judea and Samaria and targeted with 526 bombs. Nine stabbings and 12 ramming attacks were listed as “successful” in the clinical language of the report.
Last month, three Palestinian terrorists opened fire on a bus and civilian vehicles traveling on Route 55 near the village of al-Funduq, close to Kedumim. A police officer and two Israeli civilians were killed. Hamas claimed responsibility and called the terror attack a “heroic operation.”
In another incident, a 16-year-old Arab girl from al-Midya attacked an Israeli civilian at a car wash. She stabbed him in the stomach with a knife before the owner and bystanders intervened. Israeli security forces launched a manhunt, and she was eventually transferred to Israel by Palestinian Authority security forces in a move that the Islamic Jihad condemned as dangerous “security coordination” with the Jewish State.
A particularly insidious tactic emerged in 671 reported cases where Arabs used laser devices to blind Israeli drivers leading to fatal crashes. Security experts warn that unless Israel and her allies completely choke off the PA’s notorious “pay-for-slay incentive” program, the toll of Israeli casualties will likely continue to rise in 2025.
