During the first thirty days of the new Jewish year which began on 13 September, there were 778 terrorist attacks in Israel. Fourteen Jewish people were murdered in these attacks, 167 were seriously wounded, and twenty are fighting for their lives. Since the beginning of October stabbings, shootings and vehicle rammings have killed another 22. Over 80% of the perpetrators came from the West Bank. Neither Mahmoud Abbas nor the Palestinian Authority (PA) have condemned any of these hundreds of acts of terror against innocent Jewish civilians. Instead they have encouraged them with PA-produced videos such as ‘Nothing is as Sweet as Martyrdom’ which encourages Palestinians to murder Jews (see link below). This week new measures were introduced in the West Bank to tackle Palestinian terror attacks. IDF soldiers have set up checkpoints surrounding Hebron, Hawara, and Nablus, and around villages adjacent to the Etzion settlement bloc.
