Operation "Guardian of the Walls" - Public Opinion Survey
Fear of being hit by Hamas fire
In the last days of the Operation, the public was divided between those who feared being hit by Hamas fire, and those who did not. A much higher percentage of women reported being fearful than men (61% vs. 37.5%). Likewise, the percentage of Jews reporting fear was higher than among Arabs (51% vs. 40%).
Fear of injury, by gender and nationality (%)
Analysis of the degree of fear of injury reveals, as expected, a particularly high rate of fear in the Gaza Envelope region, Beer Sheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon, a lower rate in the center, and even lower in the north and south—areas that were not subject to attack.
