Our war on terrorism began

Our war on terrorism began almost a year ago. Israel’s latest such war broke out two years ago with Arab attacks that took place on the day of the Jewish new year. In Ha’aretz, Yisrael Harel writes that finally, after two years, “there are definitely signs of exhaustion among the Arabs and of recovery among the Jews.” According to Harel, the first 18 months of terrorism created panic in the civilian population, which increased the motivation for such acts. But the Defensive Wall campaign, embarked on by the government six months ago following the attack of Passover eve, appears to have changed the dynamic.
