Terror Attacks Down in Israel

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- The number of Israelis killed by terror attacks during 2005 fell by more than 60 percent, official figures say.

An annual summary of terror activities for 2005 released by Israel's Shin Bet, or Shabak domestic security service, Sunday revealed that a total of 2,990 attacks were launched against Israeli targets. The attacks occurred after the truce was announced, the report stated.

Since construction of Israel's security fence began, the international community, peace activists and the Palestinians have been screaming over its erection.

In essence, the fence removes from the equation the huge Palestinian lever of terrorist violence. While this is a sad thing for those at the UN and in the ivory towers of leftist academia, it is a good thing for Israeli children that want to ride a bus or eat at a restaurant without having to worry about being blown to bits.
