Jerusalem and the Judea and Samaria area: Most attacks executed inOctober 121 out of 151 were in the form of firebombs (September: 77 out of 104).
Distribution of attacks according to regions and pattern profile:
Following is a distribution of attacks in October 2016 according to regions:
The Gaza Strip – 2 attacks: 1 rocket and mortar launching; 1 A.A. shooting.
Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem – 151 attacks: 19 IED (including pipe bombs and improvised grenade) (1 in Jerusalem); 8 small arms shooting (1 in Jerusalem); 1 stabbing; 2 run-over (1 in Jerusalem); 121 firebombs (45 in Jerusalem).
High-trajectory launchings from Gaza Strip and Sinai
Throughout October 2016 one rocket and one mortar shell were launched** from the Gaza Strip towards Israel (within 1 attack), compared to one rocket in September.
**Clarification: The number of launchings is the number of rockets/mortar shells actually launched during one high-trajectory fire attack. For example: one attack may include a salvo of three launchings, that is, three rockets/ mortar shells, and so it will be counted as one attack and three launchings.

The Case of the Black Battered Woman & the Case of the White Man Suspected by Some in the US Intelligence Community of Being Compromised by Russia. by Debra V. Wilson
The Case of the Black Battered
Woman & the Case of the White Man Suspected by Some in the US Intelligence
Community of Being Compromised by Russia.
As I discussed in my YouTube podcast, “Security
(Globally) is Like US Tax Codes” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cntZ3M0WJYc)
Security is security- yet what is defined as
security is often based on who is discussing the topic. I would also argue that how threat is defined
and correspondingly how it is dealt with is also dependent on who is defining
the threat and how we define who we deem is threatening.
Please see some information on the domestic
abuse survivor who is deemed an ex-con, and the man who is deemed compromised by
Russian intelligence, by some in U.S. intelligence communities, who as of 08/09
November 2016 is the President-elect of the United States of America.
