THE SECURITY FENCE IS WORKING

Death Toll of Israeli Civilians Killed by Palestinians Hits Six-Year Low - Dion Nissenbaum (McClatchy)
Palestinian militants killed 23 Israelis and foreign visitors in 2006, down from a high of 289 in 2002 and 43 deaths in 2005. Only two Palestinian suicide bombers managed to sneak into Israel for attacks that killed 11 people and wounded 30 others in 2006. The figures highlight Israel's success in insulating most of its citizens from the conflict with the Palestinians.
