Despite the fact that the wave of terror begun last September continues, figures provided by the IDF spokesperson’s office point to a significant decline in violence in Judea and Samaria in March. According to the IDF figures, there have been 168 attacks in Judea and Samaria between September 2015 and March 2016, most of which were recorded last October. The lowest figure since September was recorded in March — 10 attacks.

The IDF reports the most significant decline in ramming by car: while between October and December there were 24 ramming attacks, since January there have been only four such attacks on record. As to stabbing attacks: October saw 27 stabbings, November 15, December 12, January and February 11 each, and in March the figure was down to 5. Live fire attacks were down from 13 in October to 3 in March.

In October there were 442 stone throwing events, compared with 234 in February and 165 in March. October marked 88 Molotov cocktails, compared with 20 in March.

This is the IDF’s overall account of casualties: from October 1 to March 31 medical treatment was given to 430 Arabs, out of whom 91 died and 30 were critically injured. At the same period 470 IDF soldiers were treated: 424 with light injuries, 26 moderate, 13 critical and 7 soldiers lost their lives.

The IDF report is challenged by daily reports from the field conducted by the website Hakol Hayehudi, which documents every attack, a list they dubbed “The Silenced Intifada.”
