Sharp Increase in West Bank Terrorist Attacks
(Times of Israel) Philip Podolsky - Terror attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank and Jerusalem increased sharply in September, the Israel Security Agency reported Wednesday. There were 91 attacks in September, compared to 51 in August. The majority of the incidents were Molotov cocktail attacks. In addition, during September, terrorists in Gaza fired 17 rockets and eight mortar shells at Israel in 25 separate incidents, compared to 21 rockets and three mortar shells in 16 incidents in August. "The potential for another uprising exists and we have to prepare ourselves for such an eventuality," the commander of the IDF's elite Duvdevan undercover unit told Israel's Channel 10 TV.
