Claims from

A total of 31 people were killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. This includes 27 Israeli civilians and foreigners killed by Palestinian or Arab Israeli terrorists, three soldiers killed in attacks against troops, and one police commando killed during clashes in the West Bank

The high number of Palestinian deaths is largely attributed to violent clashes and a series of terror attacks, in which many of the assailants were also killed

According to Shin Bet data, over 129 people were wounded in attacks during the year, with many attackers coming from the Jenin and Nablus areas in the northern West Bank

The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry reported 167 Palestinian deaths due to Israeli gunfire in the West Bank, marking it as the deadliest year since 2006. However, the Israel Defense Forces report a slightly lower number of 151, asserting that the majority of those killed were involved in attacks or had clashed with security forces

The majority of the fatalities occurred in the Tel Aviv area and nearby cities (12 deaths) and in the West Bank (9 deaths). Other locations included the southern city of Beersheba (4 deaths), Jerusalem (4 deaths in separate attacks), and the northern city of Hadera (2 deaths)
