Intifada Casualties Down 44% in 2004

March 2, 2005

In 2004, a total of 118 Israelis were killed as part of the intifada, or Palestinian uprising, down from 212 in 2003.

The IDF attributes the drop in casualties to improved terror-fighting methods, mainly the erection of the separation fence, greater cooperation between the military and the Shin Bet (Israeli internal security organization), and the IDF’s improved operational abilities, mainly in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
