Israel's security forces have thwarted an average of one attempted mass terrorist attack every two days in the past ten weeks. On Oct. 4 of this year, 21 Israelis were murdered, and 60 others were wounded, when a Palestinian terrorist - a 29-year-old lawyer - blew herself up in the Jewish-Arab owned Maxime Restaurant in Haifa. Since then, over 35 attempted attacks have been thwarted, and 52 warnings of planned attacks are still extant.
Eighteen people have been murdered in various shooting and bombing attacks during this period, including three American security personnel. Terrorism in the past ten weeks has included 114 bombings, 53 grenade attacks, 131 mortar shells, and 72 Kassam and anti-tank rockets.
Among attacks in the past 24 hours, a bus was targeted by terrorist gunfire near an army position near N'vei Dekalim in southern Gaza, and an anti-tank rocket was fired at an IDF jeep patrolling the Gaza security fence nearby. Palestinian terrorists fired a mortar shell towards Netzarim, and shootings were registered near Ramallah and Tul Karem. No one was hurt in these incidents.
