Major events

First "intifada," from 1987-1993 Arabs attacked primarily Israeli soldiers and police, mainly with rocks and firebombs.

Second "intifada" (2000-2005), planned by the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, included widespread attacks -- suicide bombings, shootings and car bombs -- against any and all Israeli targets, mainly civilians
Third intifada The Palestinians' New Intifada by Barry Shaw Gatestone  October 8, 2015 President Mahmoud Abbas latched onto the extremist -- albeit totally incorrect -- Islamist theme that Jews are trying to destroy Islamic holy places. He thereby ignited a firestorm of competition among radical groups as to which faction could incite the most violence.

August 30, 2014 Burning Jews does not make the news On Aug. 30, Palestinian terrorists set a Jewish man on fire in Jerusalem, A Molotov cocktail—a flaming bottle of gasoline which explodes upon contact—was hurled through the window of a historic 19th-century house known as Beit Meyuhas. One of the residents, a 45-year-old man, was struck by the firebomb and set on fire. He suffered first and second-degree burns to his face and head.

Sept. 1, 2014 Palestinian terrorists tried to set an entire bus full of Israeli Jews on fire. Yet I couldn’t find any mention of these horrific attacks in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or any other major American news outlet. Two firebombs were thrown at an Israeli bus traveling on Route 505, between the towns of Migdalim and Kfar Tapuach. The attackers’ goal was to set the entire bus on fire and burn all of its passengers alive. They almost succeeded. The flaming bombs exploded as they crashed through the front windshield of the bus. Flying glass slashed the driver. It was only by a miracle that he was able to stop the bus without crashing

A Palestinian teenager fatally stabbed a 19-year-old Israeli soldier on a bus in northern Israel..the soldier, Eden Atias, 19, was in uniform at the time of the attack and that he had been on his way to an army base. He was stabbed several times in the upper body, according to Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesman for the police. Mr. Rosenfeld said that a 16-year-old Palestinian from Jenin, in the West Bank, was apprehended at the scene and that he told security personnel under questioning that he had acted to avenge one or more relatives serving time in Israeli prison. Israeli news media identified the suspect as Hussein Jawadra.

 Since September, an Israeli soldier was killed in Hebron, apparently by a Palestinian sniper; an off-duty soldier was killed by a Palestinian acquaintance who had lured him to the West Bank; and a retired colonel was bludgeoned to death outside his home in the Jordan Valley. Israeli security officials have attributed the rise in attacks to unrelated individuals rather than to an orchestrated campaign backed by militant groups.

  • 1 killed, 16 injured, 15 vehicles hit, 1 arrested in suspected vehicular terrorist attack May 15, 2011  Israel 2011 Arab Terrorist Truck Traffic Attack  In Tel Aviv Israel one person was killed and at least 16 injured when a truck driven by 22 year old Israeli Arab Issa Islam Ibrahim in Tel Aviv smashed into cars and pedestrians in a suspected terror attack. The driver, a 22-year-old man from the Israeli-Arab town of Kfar Kassem in central Israel, was arrested in the Sunday morning incident. May 15 is designated by the Arab world as Nakba or Catastrophe Day, referring to the day that Israel obtained statehood. The driver reportedly told police that his tire had exploded, causing him to lose control of the truck, a scenario that police suspected was cover story deception. The truck drove for about two miles down a major thoroughfare in Tel Aviv, hitting cars, several buses, a motorcycle and pedestrians; it also knocked down traffic lights and security rails. The driver drove off in the truck following the destruction but was arrested shortly after. (Euro-Asian Jewish congress)












    • 2 killed 15 injured August 1, 2009 2009 Tel Aviv gay centre shooting A masked man entered the Bar Noar gay youth center on Tel Aviv’s Nahmani street and began shooting. Counselor Nir Katz, 26, and 16-year-old Liz Trubeshi were killed and at least fifteen others were injured. Approximately 40 people were present at the center that night. It was the Tel Aviv branch of the Israeli LGBT Association. The shooter was dressed in black and used a pistol to carry out his attack. The city's gay community stated the killer had a homophobic motive while police criticized them for rushing to make declarations about incitement being the cause and police soon discarded the possibility that the shooting was a terror attack with nationalistic motives.  A break came when Hagai Felician confessed his actions to an undercover officer planted in his jail cell.On 10 July 2013, Hagai Felician was indicted on two counts of murder. According to police, Felician was enraged upon hearing a teenager was raped by the senior figure at the club. Together with another suspect, Tarlan Hankishayev, and the state's witness, he came to Barnoar looking for the activist. Unable to find him, Felician “lost it” and shot those present. After it appeared that the state witness lied and was arrested on charges of fabricating evidence, on 26 February, Felician was released. On 9 March 2014, all charges against Felician were dropped.
