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.

Use of these tactics allows suicide bombers to discretely move to a desired target location and make real-time decisions to maximize lethality.

  • Report on Incidents of Terrorism 2005
    National Counterterrorism Center Report on Incidents of Terrorism 2005 11 April 2006 NCTC Report on Incidents of Terrorism 2005 This page intentionally left blank i NCTC Report on Incidents of Terrorism 2005 FOREWORD: Consistent with its statutory mission to serve as the U.S. Government's knowledge bank on international terrorism, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is providing this report and statistical information to assist academics, policy makers and the public in understanding the data. The statistical information included in this report is drawn from the data NCTC maintains on the www.nctc.gov website. The report includes the following: -- this Foreword, which provides important context for the contents of this report; -- a methodology section that explains how the data was compiled and the inherent limitations of the data; -- NCTC observations related to the terrorism incident statistical material; -- statistical charts and graphs; and -- summaries of high fatality incidents during 2005 Section 2656f(b) of Title 22 of the U.S. Code requires the State Department to include in its annual report on terrorism "to the extent practicable, complete statistical information on the number of individuals, including United States citizens and dual nationals, killed, injured, or kidnapped by each terrorist group during the preceding calendar year." While NCTC keeps statistics on the annual number of incidents of "terrorism," its ability to track the specific groups responsible for each incident involving killings, kidnappings, and injuries is significantly limited by the availability of reliable open source information, particularly for events involving small numbers of casualties. The statistical material compiled in this report, therefore, is drawn from the number of incidents of "terrorism" that occurred in 2005, which is the closest figure that is practicable for NCTC to supply in satisfaction of the above-referenced statistical requirements.

  • Palestinian Female Suicide Bombers: Virtuous Heroines Or Damaged Goods?1
    Palestinian Female Suicide Bombers: Virtuous Heroines or Damaged Goods?1 Yoram Schweitzer Introduction Although not a new phenomenon, suicide bombings by women attract a disproportionately large amount of media scrutiny and academic study in relation to suicide bombing as a whole. Possible explanations for the disproportionate attention that female suicide bombers receive include the seeming incongruity of women, symbols of fertility and the gift of life, intentionally taking the lives of others. Palestinian female suicide bombers, in particular, have received extensive coverage in the global media due to the relative ease of accessing their families for interviews following a bombing. Israeli policies, which allow media to obtain interviews with suicide bombers imprisoned after failing to complete their missions, have also increased their exposure.2 To date, approximately seventy Palestinian women are numbered as having been involved in suicide bombing attempts in Israel--ten of whom actually carried out an attack and died in the process. Indeed, notwithstanding the decline in Palestinian suicide bombings in Israel since the tahadiya (the unilateral temporary restraint that was announced in March 2005), two of the eleven suicide attacks were carried out by women. Both of these women were dispatched from Gaza in the span of less than a month. On November 6, 2006, Marwa Masoud, an eighteen year old student from the Islamic College in Gaza, blew herself up near a group of soldiers, killing herself and slightly wounding one soldier. A few weeks later, on November 23, another female 1 Originally published in the anthology: Female Terrorism and Militancy: Agency, Utility, and Organization.

    Yoram Schweitzer and Sari Goldstein Ferber Al-Qaeda and the Internationalization of Suicide Terrorism The Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies (JCSS) JCSS was founded in 1977 at the initiative of Tel Aviv University. In 1983 the Center was named the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies – JCSS – in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Jaffee. The purpose of the Jaffee Center is, first, to conduct basic research that meets the highest academic standards on matters related to Israel's national security as well as Middle East regional and international security affairs. The Center also aims to contribute to the public debate and governmental deliberation of issues that are – or should be – at the top of Israel's national security agenda. The Jaffee Center seeks to address the strategic community in Israel and abroad, Israeli policymakers and opinion-makers, and the general public. The Center relates to the concept of strategy in its broadest meaning, namely the complex of processes involved in the identification, mobilization, and application of resources in peace and war, in order to solidify and strengthen national and international security.

Indeed, there is a generally permissive attitude towards innovation in this area. • Where debate does exist, it does so with regard to the application of such technologies and their impact on civilians – which is itself a hotly contested definitional issue within salafi‑jihadist circles. • This paper has chosen to focus on three case studies where salafi‑jihadist innovation has been most acute. These are: (i) improvised explosive devices (IEDs); (ii) strategic communications; and (iii) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. Methods • The project team drew on a range of Arabic‑language sources collected over the course of the last two decades. • These include: (i) thousands of verified internal Islamic State (IS) documents found in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan; (ii) hundreds of doctrinal texts authored by senior figures from across the global jihadist movement; and (iii) an obscure 575‑page manual cited by leading members of both al‑Qaeda and IS as an important theological treatise on asymmetric warfare.

  • Suicide Bombing Operations
    Issue No. 5 March 2007 Security & Terrorism Research Bulletin Suicide Bombing Operations During the last three years, the world has witnessed a notable upsurge in the number of suicide attacks, as well as in the geographical spread of this tactic. As the suicide bombers become more sophisticated and inventive in their tactics, the number of victims of suicide bombing attacks around the world has also increased significantly. Counter measures designed to combat suicide bombing have proven largely ineffective. This is now an acknow- ledged reality, and despite all national and international efforts, success in the field of preventive and preemptive measures has been limited. The research team at the Department of Security and Terrorism Studies at the GRC, which has produced this study, felt the need to analyze the suicide bombing phenomenon. As part of a Middle East-based think-tank, the researcher at the GRC is living and working within a regional environment that has become familiar with the terrible consequences of suicide operations. With this modest contribution, the researchers at the S&T department hope to add some knowledge that will help in understanding the suicide bombing phenomenon, and contribute to efforts of combating the same.
