The opening as it read in 2010

French Hill attacks refer to numerous attacks by Palestinians near the Jerusalem neighborhood of the French Hill , a neighborhood in north-central Jerusalem .1 It is located in territory captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967.2 Especially targeted has been the intersection just north of the French Hill Junction, which connects Northern Jerusalem to Maale Adumim and the Dead Sea . This intersection is not within French Hill, nor at the entrance to French Hill, and most French Hill residents are not in any danger or even aware of them until they hear about them via the news media, although most of the media insists on calling the location "French Hill Junction" rather than "Maale Adumim Junction".3 A US News and World Report Article entitled: "Jerusalem's Violent Crossroads" explains that "The busy thoroughfare, which divides the Jewish neighborhood of French Hill from the Arab neighborhood of Shuafat , is the most accessible corner in the city for a West Bank terrorist looking for a crowd of Israelis."
