Counting Rock and Firebomb Attacks in Jerusalem
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Israel's security services assess that since the start of 2015, more than 5,000 cases of rock throwing have taken place in Jerusalem. The statistic doesn't document the moments of fear and threat, or the trauma caused to the Jewish population in the city's border neighborhoods or in the Old City. Fourteen Israelis have been murdered by rock throwers in recent decades. In Jerusalem last week, 25 firebombs were thrown at homes in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood, not far from where Alexander Levlovitz was murdered. In the first eight months of 2015, nearly 300 firebombs were aimed at Jewish targets in Jerusalem, with 200 between May and August.
