Four Jews have been murdered HY”D and 121 injured in Arab terror attacks throughout Yehuda, Shomron and Gaza in the past three months, Hatzalah Yosh reports. The report adds many attacks are never reported on in the news and during this three month period, 261 firebombs were thrown.

The number 121 includes soldiers, police, and civilians injured by Arab terrorism and violence. Three soldiers and one civilian have been murdered during this time period. This includes IDF soldier Tomer Hazan HY”D, who was murdered in Beit Amin, Sergeant Gavriel Kobi HY”D, who was murdered in Hebron, soldier Edan Atias HY”D, who was murdered on a bus in Afula, and retired IDF Colonel Shariyah Ofir HY”D, of the Jordan Valley community of Brosh.

Hatzalah Yosh reports it receives tens of calls daily involving potentially life-threatening attacks including rocks, firebombs and paint cans hurled at moving vehicles. The report states that at least 261 firebombs and 33 explosive devices were used in attacks in September, October and November 2013. There was one shooting attack in the area of Dir Kadis in the Modi’in district in addition to gunfire being directed at IDF soldiers in Shechem and Kalkilye and firebombs and explosive devices hurled at soldiers in Jenin.

Four stabbing attacks were prevented. There were 13 attempted and successful carjackings and 105 people were injured by rocks, 3 from firebombs, 1 stabbed, 3 hit by a vehicle, and 5 in the bomb blast at the smuggling tunnel in Gaza.

It is pointed out the figures here only address the attacks reported to the Hatzalah Yosh dispatcher, so in reality, the numbers are probably higher.
