Tuvia Yanai Weissman

The Silent Intifada is produced weekly by HaKol HaYehudi, a magazine focused on the rights of Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria.  The Silent Intifada is the newest edition to our content partnership network.

One Jew was murdered and eleven were injured in over 200 terror attacks this week.

This week as almost every week there were dozens of terror attacks of varying severity not reported in most major media outlets. We report on these silenced events to present a fuller picture of the reality in Israel and balance the picture presented to innocent readers abroad. We hope that by reporting these incidents we can raise awareness so that actions can be taken to rectify this problem and improve reality in the Jewish State.

This past week (Feb.12th-Feb. 18th) there were over 200 attacks recorded in the ‘Silent Intifada’ updates on Hakol Hayehudi. These attacks included three shootings, two stabbings, two vehicular attacks, and a number of incidents of arson and throwing of stones and firebombs at individuals and property.

Tuvia Yanai Weissman HY”D, a 21 year old husband and father, was murdered by two 14 year-old Arab teenagers in the Rami Levi supermarket in Shaar Binyamin. The two terrorists stabbed him and one other person. The second victim is currently in moderate condition and is being treated at the Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem.

In total eleven Jews were injured in terror attacks. Near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, a soldier was stabbed during Shabbat on Feb. 13th. Also near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, a terrorist attempted to stab a border police officer, but was restrained. In addition, a third terrorist was caught with a knife there. At the Mizmoria Checkpoint in Gush Etzion, a terrorist was neutralized during an attempted stabbing and by the Shechem Gate of the Old City in Jerusalem another attempted stabber was neutralized. Arab terrorists were caught placing IEDs (improvised explosive devices) near the A-Zaim Checkpoint and in the Talpiyot neighborhood of Jerusalem an Arab attempted to stab a Jewish woman.

Near the town of Maale Adumim, Arab thieves rammed into several police officers during a chase. Arabs in Binyamin fired shots at homes in Beit El causing damage, but did not harm any individuals, thank G-d. Near the Shechem Gate of the Old City, Arab terrorists also opened fire on police officers, but were quickly neutralized. In the village of Araka in the northern Shomron, Arabs shot at IDF forces.

During riots in Naalin, two border police officers were injured and a soldier was injured during riots in Kochbar. In Al-Imri an IDF soldier was also injured during riots and a driver was injured from stone throwing by Arabs in western Binyamin.
