How many degrees of separation are there between the average Israeli and somebody who has been killed by a terrorist?

Malka Chana Roth, the 15 year old daughter of a very good friend was killed along with 14 others in the Sbarro explosion (9th August 2001) in Jerusalem. 
 This occurred about 300 meters away from where I was living at the time.
 Over an approximately 14 year stretch I was living near the center of Jerusalem:
 In that time several buses with their passengers were blown up, there was the Sbarro explosion, another restaurant explosion, and an explosion in the main street, and maybe other incidents that I no longer remember or never knew about.
 Hundreds of people were literally killed or injured.

One of my sons was travelling in a bus that Arab terrorists fired upon. A woman was killed and several children (schoolmates of my son) were seriously injured.

All of my children had schoolmates or friends who were victims of Arab terror attacks.

A son of mine was standing outside a grocery store when he began talking to a young man a little older than himself.
 The person had very recently got married, had just bought a house, was optimistic about the future, and was giving the impression as to how happy he was.
 My son went away feeling happy for the young man.
 The next day the young man was deliberately run over and killed by a truck driven by an Arab terrorist.
 The mother of my son was in a car when an Arab with a rock came up and started bashing the windscreen in.

Other people I know can relate similar experiences.
 If I think back I could remember more such examples.
 If this, as I am, is what I can recall then it stands to reason that more involved personalities can probably say much more.
