A total of three people were killed in car accidents last week - the lowest weekly total in three years. The average for this year is nearly 8 road deaths each week - compared to over 10 at this time two years ago.
The daily report on car accidents across the country states that 139 people were hurt, including 3 in "moderate" condition, in 125 accidents over the past 24 hours.
In security news, two Kassam rockets were fired from Gaza towards the Negev Thursday afternoon. The rockets landed near Nachal Oz, east of what used to be Netzarim and west of Kibbutz Saad. No damage was caused.
The police have arrested the Palestinian terrorist who stabbed a Jerusalem man earlier this week. The Ramallah resident, 24, admitted to having stabbed 63-year-old Ran Shimon in his shoulder on Tuesday morning. Shimon was rushed to the hospital, where he was listed in "moderate condition."
The terrorist told interrogators that he planned a year and a half ago to commit an attack at the French Hill junction in northern Jerusalem. However, he said, when he arrived on the scene, he changed his mind and returned home.
