In the wake of an Israel Hayom report showing that the State Department was incorrectly tallying the number of Palestinian terrorist incidents in the Israel 2019 Human Rights Report it published several months ago, the US government said it would amend the document.

US Congressmen Doug Lamborn and David B. McKinley had pressed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after Israel Hayom reported the errors, which were based on UN figures.
According to that report, published in March, Palestinians committed 101 acts of violence against Israeli civilians in the West Bank, "primarily stonethrowing ."

However, the number of incidents recorded by the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet security agency for 2019 is much higher. The IDF reported that over the course of 2019, there were 290 incidents of Palestinians throwing Molotov cocktails at Israelis and 1,469 stonethrowing incidents. The Shin Bet reported a total of 1,327 Palestinian terrorist acts for 2019.

The data about Palestinian attacks on Israelis have been collected by the group Boomerang, which advocates for Israel and publishes a weekly report on terrorism statistics.
