In fact, there are whole years in which the number of attacks did not reach this amount: in 2010 there were 455 attacks total, and in 2011 there were 511 attacks.

The number of victims in October alone was abnormally high relative to recent years – 11 Israelis were killed, compared with five in all of 2013, for example; 80 civilians and security personnel were injured – compared with 63 in all of 2014, and 42 wounded in 2013.
