Israelis feel more secure than before

A poll by the War and Peace Index has concluded that feelings of national and personal security are on the rise among Israel’s Jewish citizens, Ynet reports.
Forty-nine percent of Jews in Israel ranked their personal feeling of security as high or very high, and only 19% ranked it as low, despite reports of a recent crime surge. In comparison, in April of 2007 just 42.5% ranked it as high, and 24% ranked it as low.
Regarding national security, 38% said they felt very secure and 22% said they didn’t feel secure at all. The data constitutes a considerable improvement from 2007.
Perhaps most impressive was civilian trust in the IDF, with 85% saying they believed the army would be capable of protecting Israel if it were attacked.
