2022, the deadliest years in recent memory for Israelis

With a series of deadly anti-Israel operations and near-nightly clashes between the Israeli military and Palestinians, 2022 was the deadliest year for both Israelis and Palestinians in years.

According to data from the Shin Bet security agency, 31 Israelis were killed in the attacks committed by Palestinian or Arab Israelis in occupied territories or the West Bank in 2022.

 

Among the Israelis killed, three soldiers were killed in attacks directed against troops, and one police commando was killed during clashes with Palestinian gunmen in a West Bank operation, Times of Israel reported.

 

In 2015, 29 Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks during a string of knifing, shooting, and ramming incidents. In 2014, 93 Israelis were killed, mostly soldiers amid a war in the Gaza Strip.

 

The majority of this year’s fatalities occurred in attacks in the Tel Aviv area and nearby cities (12) and in the West Bank (9).

 

In addition, four Israelis were killed in an attack in the southern city of Beersheba, four were killed in separate attacks in Al-Quds, and two were killed in an attack in the northern city of Hadera.

 

According to Shin Bet data, more than 129 people have been wounded in attacks this year.

 

Many of the attackers hailed from the Jenin and Nablus areas in the northern West Bank, where the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) has focused much of its counterterrorism efforts.

 

The IOF has recorded around 300 shooting attacks against Israelis in the West Bank this year, compared to just 91 last year.

 

Many of those shootings occurred almost immediately as troops entered Palestinian cities to arrest Palestinian suspects.
