A sharp increase in Arab terrorist attacks and violent incidents across Judea and Samaria has been recorded since the beginning of October, with the daily rate of reported incidents rising approximately fivefold compared to September.
According to an investigation published last Thursday by Olam Katan, based on incident reports collected by the emergency response organization Hatzalah Judea and Samaria Without Borders, 63 incidents were documented between October 1 and October 13, compared to just 29 throughout the entire month of September.
The increase has accelerated within October itself. During the first seven days of the month, 27 incidents were recorded. Another 36 were documented during the following six days.
AFSI Insight
The fivefold surge in reported attacks across Judea and Samaria underscores the growing danger facing Jewish residents, farmers, shepherds, and motorists. From rock-throwing and attempted stabbings to firebombs and suspected livestock poisonings, these incidents demand urgent action and stronger security measures. AFSI calls on Israel to protect its communities, farms, and access roads, strengthen its security presence, and advance Jewish development and sovereignty throughout Judea and Samaria rather than pursue concessions that endanger Israeli lives.
