After the attack at Tishbi Junction on Monday, carried out by an Arab Israeli citizen, Hakol Hayehudi delved into the data to find out how many attacks have been perpetrated by Arab Israeli citizens since the outbreak of the October 7 war. In total, nine Israeli Jews have been murdered by Israeli Arab terrorists since the beginning of the war. This figure is nearly identical to the 11 victims killed by terrorists from Judea and Samaria. Additionally, six Jews were murdered by terrorists from eastern Jerusalem who are Israeli residents.
