Fourteen Terrorist Attacks a Day against Israel - Pipes

This is quite a stat.

Fourteen Terrorist Attacks a Day against Israel
Daniel Pipes Weblog
September 29, 2005

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office has released the following:

Today (Thursday), 29.9.05, will mark five years since the start of the current round of Palestinian violence, during which 26,159 terrorist attacks were perpetrated against Israeli targets, in which 1,060 Israelis were murdered and 6,089 were wounded.

That comes out on average to 5,232 attacks a year or 14.33 per day, every single day. One can only speculate how many more thousands of attacks were prevented. For anyone not living in Israel or Iraq, this figure staggers the imagination.
