35. Actually, what Mofaz said

was that there was a drop in casualties due to terrorism. That is simply because with no Israeli soldiers or civilians inside the Strip, the Palestinians are limited to attacks at the Line checkpoints - which are more difficult targets - or missile shootings - which often don't cause casualties (AFAIR, throughout the intifada there have been only two suicide bombers from Gaza who successfuly struck inside Israel). OTOH, the number of missile attacks has gone up, as has the area of Israel threatened by them.
