ISA Monthly Terrorism Survey – June 2012
http://www.shabak.gov.il/English/EnTerrorData/Reports/Pages/June12report-en.aspx

Monthly Summary – June 2012

June has seen a sharp increase in the number of attacks: 165 attacks, as
opposed to 81 in May 2012. In addition two Sinai-based rocket attacks were
perpetrated against Israel (June 16).

The increase was prominent in the attacks emanating from Gaza Strip: 99
attacks in June, compared to 10 in May. This is a result of the recent round
of violence, during which 197 rockets and 21 mortar shells were launched
against Israel.

On the other hand, a slight drop in the number of attacks was registered in
Jerusalem and the Judea and Samaria, compared to May. The Judea and Samaria
sustained 48 attacks, as opposed to 50 in May, while Jerusalem faced 18
attacks as opposed to 21 in May.

Two Israelis were killed this month in terror attacks and seven were
injured. The fatalities were a security person who was shot dead at the
Israel-Gaza Strip border (June 1), and one civilian who was killed by a
combined attack (AT, IED and small arms shooting) at the Israel-Egypt border
(June 18).

Four of the casualties, all of whom were security personnel, were injured in
Judea: one was stabbed (June 4), one was injured by firebombs and stones
(June 9), and two were injured by firebombs (June 18). Three others were
injured by rockets launched from Gaza.
