The Israel Security Agency’s report on terror attacks during May 2025 shows that a total of 426 incidents took place in Judea & Samaria, Jerusalem and within the ‘green line’. The agency recorded 42 attacks with petrol bombs, 20 attacks using pipe bombs, 297 incidents of rock throwing, three shooting attacks, 60 arson attacks, one vehicular attack and three stabbing attacks.
69 attacks were thwarted throughout the month and 288 terror-related arrests were made.
In addition, the report records thirty-five missiles launched into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip throughout May. The ISA report does not include casualties from attacks related to Operation Swords of Iron.
Two people were murdered and thirteen injured in attacks in Judea & Samaria, Jerusalem and inside the ‘green line’ during May.
On May 15th the BBC News website reported a shooting attack that had taken place near Bruchin the previous night in which a woman on her way to give birth was murdered and her husband injured. That report was not updated when the Hamas-linked terrorist was later eliminated and BBC audiences saw no reporting when the victims’ baby died fifteen days later.
Among the attacks which did not receive any coverage on the BBC News website were the following:
On May 7th two members of the security forces were wounded in a shooting attack at the Reihan crossing and on the same day, a member of the security forces was injured in a vehicular attack near Hebron. On May 16th a police officer was wounded in a stabbing attack in the Old City of Jerusalem
Throughout the first five months of 2025, the BBC News website reported 0.35% of the terror attacks which took place and 67% of the fatalities.
