The State Attorney’s office on Sunday reported that there have been 82 suicide bombers stopped while trying to pass through unfinished gaps the the Jerusalem section of the security wall this year.
Given that there were only 113 days from the start of the year until that report, that works out to be one would-be suicide bomber stopped every 33 hours.
Say what you will about the security wall, but as a Jerusalem resident, I’ll just say Thank You.

I am with ya on this one too, Laya.
Thanks for the post! Is there a current plan to complete the fence?
If I recall correctly, there’s been a 70% decrease in attacks since the security barrier was erected. Good post.
