Data for August 9, 2015 from the IDF Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (in Gaza).

Despite all the kvetching by Palestinian Authority leaders who attempt to justify their latest intifada against Israelis with spurious claims about mistreatment, the bottom line can be found in the facts.

On Sunday, 11 ambulances transferred patients through the Erez Crossing between Gaza and pre-1967 Israel.
