Key Takeaways:
- Despite a reported decline in West Bank attacks, the Shin Bet recorded 4,744 terror-related incidents in Israel in 2025, targeting civilians and security forces across the country.
- While international media focuses on Israel’s military operations, it often overlooks the sustained, widespread terrorism Israelis face inside their own cities and communities.
- Every month of 2025 saw attacks ranging from stone-throwing and Molotov cocktails to shootings, stabbings, IEDs, and ramming attacks, resulting in deaths and injuries nationwide.
For the past two and a half years, Israel has been fighting a sustained defensive war on multiple fronts. While the battlefield and regional conflict dominate headlines, a parallel and often underreported front continues within Israel – relentless terrorism that targets all Israelis.
Even as the IDF reported that 2025 saw a steep decline in terror attacks in the West Bank, the threat of terrorism has not disappeared.

Tzeela Gez was in labor when she was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist.
Hamas hailed the attack as “heroic.”⁰And @washingtonpost? It ran a piece about potential “settler retaliation.”

The junction is “not far as well from the Neve Yaniv settlement in east Jerusalem.”
You mean the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Yaakov. Get the name right, @YolandeKnell, and stop justifying a terror attack by virtue of its vicinity to a place you call a “settlement.” pic.twitter.com/IVC74xQNki

Reuters has no problem identifying Jewish settlers.
But the Palestinian perpetrators behind this terrorist attack? Unidentifiable.
And their victims? @Reuters won’t even identify them as Israelis. pic.twitter.com/ZIJA1hfZAT

The scare quotes weren’t enough for @UPI. It had to deem it a “so-called” terror attack.
And with the perpetrator “allegedly” killing the Israeli victims, could UPI do anything more to whitewash terror? pic.twitter.com/wbBafOzFlZ
