The Second Intifada saw a bloody wave of suicide bombings within a span of 5 years which was extremely traumatic for Israelis.

This list details the attempted bombings that took place in Israel from September 2000 - December 2005.
The Gaza pullout didn’t happen until August of 2005 and the first segment of the barrier in Judea and Samaria wasn’t completed until July 2003. The data was compiled on January 2006 by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.
I’m making this to try and give those that didn’t have to experience this horror a better idea of the frequency that these terror attacks occurred. People don’t seem to understand how bad and often it was and the effect it had.

*This will take a few days to complete*
