The Judea and Samaria Rescue Organization Without Borders publishes, for the first time, a comprehensive report on the terrorist activities that have taken place in Judea, Samaria and the rest of Israel since the Hamas terrorists invaded the Gaza envelope and the criminal massacre.
The report shows that in light of the IDF's intensive activity in Judea and Samaria, on the one hand there is a massive decline in the number of terrorist attacks, with an emphasis on November, but on the other hand there is a prominent trend of firing squads seeking to carry out high-quality attacks. Due to the significance of the dates, the summary was made between October 7 and November 7 and between November 7 and December 7.
In the two months since the massacre, following which war was declared in Judea and Samaria, there have been 63 shooting attacks, 50 of which took place in October, and 13 attacks in November.

The number of Molotov cocktails has also dropped significantly, with a total of 143 Molotov cocktails thrown at Israelis in the past two months, including 108 in October and 35 in November.
There were also 273 incidents of burning tires in October, compared with 36 in November. In October, 30 cases of IEDs were identified, compared with 16 in November.
The number of stone-throwing has also decreased significantly. A total of 569 cases of stone-throwing occurred in the two months examined, including 353 in October and 186 in November. In October, 16 Israelis were injured by stone-throwing, including two soldiers.

Alongside these figures, which prove that the IDF's significant activity in Judea and Samaria is yielding results, it is evident that the terrorists continue their attempts to carry out difficult and complex attacks, and even succeed in doing so in some cases.
In Judea and Samaria, three Israelis were killed in attacks and clashes in the past two months. Staff Sgt. Maxim Rajinkov, a reserve SWAT soldier, was killed in an encounter in Nur a-Shams refugee camp. Elhanan Klein was murdered in a shooting attack that included planting a pull IED on the forces that arrived at the scene.
Corporal Avraham Panetta was killed when terrorists opened fire at the Tunnel Checkpoint after attempting to infiltrate Jerusalem to carry out a massacre. In addition, 20 Israelis were injured in various incidents, including four injured by violent attacks by Arabs.
In the rest of Israel, seven Israelis have been murdered in the past two months. In a stabbing attack that took place in Jerusalem, Border Police soldier Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin was killed.
