While class action litigation captivates the press, judges and policymakers, the damage to companies involved can be extremely high. When defending class action allegations, companies benefit from experts who advise, strategize and plan for a successful resolution. Class Actions team at Salomon Lipchitz & Co., run by Adv. Amit Gur, is your adviser. As one of the most seasoned law firms in Israel, our Class Actions team has been well versed in the class actions field since they became increasingly prominent in recent years. Since the 2011 “social justice protests” raised consumer awareness of issues relating to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, to the number of class actions brought against foreign corporations in Israel, clients have been tapping into our vast experience in some of the most significant and complex cases in Israel. Among this rise in class actions, we have developed a particular expertise in defending key transport operators with regards to actions filed against them in relation to failure to operate lines, delays and other challenges to consumers. We are the natural partner for many clients operating in the transportation, including Afikim, Kavim, Metropoline, Superbus, Egged Transportation and many others, as we are in other key sectors, such as telecommunications, retail and food and beverage, and shipping. For example, we act for Haifa Port in an extremely high- value and well publicized lawsuit filed against them and Ashdod Port relating to damages caused over the past several years due to the strikes of employees. Should class action actually proceed to any level of the Israeli court system, our team both well-equipped and equally experienced to obtain the most favorable result for the client, allowing them to return to do what they do best: run their business.

Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict
Israeli Security Agency [logo] Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict September 2000 - September 2007 L_C089061 Table of Contents: Foreword...........................................................................................................................1 Suicide Terrorists - Personal Characteristics................................................................2 Suicide Terrorists Over 7 Years of Conflict - Geographical Data...............................3 Suicide Attacks since the Beginning of the Conflict.....................................................5 L_C089062 Israeli Security Agency [logo] Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict Foreword Since September 2000, the State of Israel has been in a violent and ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, in which the Palestinian side, including its various organizations, has carried out attacks against Israeli citizens and residents. During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.
