Excerpt:
In a report to Ben-Eliezer yesterday, the IDF noted that 18 Israelis were killed in the territories this month. Since the conflict began, only November has registered a worse toll, with 32 Israelis killed.
Since the outbreak of the Intifada on September 29, 2000, 94 Israelis (including two foreign workers from Romania) have been killed: 61 civilians and 33 soldiers. In the last two months, however, almost all the deaths have been civilian. Even the two soldiers who died were killed in drive-by shootings rather than in the course of army operations.
In addition to the deaths, 696 Israelis have been wounded since the start of the Intifada.
There is disagreement within the security services regarding the number of Palestinian deaths: The Shin Bet security service and the government coordinator in the territories say 484, while the IDF's operations directorate says 438. An estimated 8,500 to 10,000 Palestinians have been injured.
