Several perpetrators of terror attacks against Israelis in the current wave of violence were members of the Palestinian Security Services, who have access to weapons and combat training.

At the funeral of two Palestinian terrorists who were shot and killed by Israeli soldiers, an unidentified speaker called out for the death of every single Jew.

IDF forces destroyed the home of a Palestinian terrorist responsible for the murder of an Israeli. In total, the IDF has destroyed five such homes in the past 72 hours.

An IDF prosecutor filed indictments against seven Palestinians in the murders of Danny Gonen and Malachi Rosenfeld in June. One terrorist had been released in the 2011 Shalit deal.

Many terrorists released in the Shalit deal have returned to violence against Israelis, thus reducing the chances for future prisoner releases of this kind as part of any peace negotiations.

Israeli security forces were successful in apprehending a terror cell that carried out several terror attacks, including the murder of Danny Gonen.
