In a statement on Oct. 7, the agency, responsible for domestic
intelligence, said attacks in Jerusalem rose from nine in August to 31 in
September. Most of the attacks were reported in eastern Jerusalem,
particularly the Silwan neighborhood near the Temple Mount.
ISA also cited an increase in Palestinian missile and rocket strikes
from the Gaza Strip. In September, 38 attacks from the Gaza Strip took
place, compared with 29 during the previous month.
"There is also an increase in Gaza-based attacks mainly high-trajectory
launchings of rockets and mortar shells," the agency said.
In the West Bank, ISA reported a slight decrease in attacks, including
firebombs, during September. Nineteen insurgency strikes took place in
September, compared with 20 during the previous month.
"In September, there were no fatalities in terror attacks," the agency
