The head of IDF Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Nitzan Alon, said Wednesday that “intensified IDF action and improved cooperation with the Palestinian security forces” have resulted in a two-thirds drop in the number of attacks by Palestinians against Israelis in the West Bank over the past two months.
The upsurge, which began after Israel launched its military operation in Gaza in November 2012, involved dozens of rock and firebomb attacks on Israeli vehicles.
Firebomb incidents declined from 79 in March to 29 in June.
