The lopsided situation continued today: severe Palestinian violence in the face of an Israeli ceasefire. In addition to the murder of Tzvika Shelef, an Israeli and his three daughters were almost lynched this afternoon between Tapuach and Yitzhar, about an hour north of Jerusalem. Dozens of Arab marauders blocked the road, attacked and badly damaged the car, and the occupants told Kol Rina News Agency that only at the last moment were they able to miraculously escape. Nitzah Ben-Avraham, who was driving her father and two sisters, told Arutz-7 that the Arabs climbed on the car, rocked it back and forth, and threw large rocks at it. She said that facing no other choice, she sped up directly towards the attackers. Nitzah related that she was then able to take advantage of the seconds in which the Arabs suddenly became afraid, and drove her family to safety.

The Office of the IDF Spokesman announced today that there were a total of 5,289 violent Palestinian attacks - not including rock-throwings - against Jewish targets in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza since the beginning of the current war. About half of them were in Gaza. About 2/3 of the total were shooting attacks against military facilities, or more than 14 of these a day. On the average, Palestinians shot almost twice a day at communities and twice that many times at Jewish vehicles in the past eight months.
