I almost hate to mention this because the situation is always precarious, but unless I’m mistaken it has been nearly six months since any Israeli was killed in a terror attack.
The last victim was Rina Shnerb, 17, killed by an IED on August 23, 2019.
That attack was done by the PFLP – the same PFLP who is linked to anti-Israel NGO DCI-Palestine in news over the past couple of days. The PFLP is linked to a number of NGOs to use them as another avenue to attack Israel under the guise of human rights.
Needless to say, none of the PFLP-linked NGOs said a word against Rina’s murder.
Still, a six month stretch without a terrorist murder in Israel is quite unusual; the last time I can see a stretch that long was seven months between October 29, 2011 (Moshe Ami, 56, rocket hitting Ashkelon) and June 1, 2012 (Staff-Sgt Netanel Moshiashvili, 21, shot on patrol near Gaza).
Let’s hope the current streak continues for a long, long time.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
