  • 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.

Jerusalem is both Israel’s capital city and its most populous, with a total of over 815,000 residents this year – meaning that 1 in every 10 of the country’s residents lives in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is characterized as well by its distinctive cultural and political history and a religious, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity that together weave the intricate fabric of this complex city. This unique character of the City of Jerusalem is reflected in the nearly 50-year mandate of the Jerusalem Foundation.

Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel. ^Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Raymond and Beverly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences. Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel. cGeoIogical Survey of Israel. 30 Malkhei Yisrael St.. Jerusalem 95501. Israel. ABSTRACT Surface (0-5 cm) soil samples taken from representative sites throughout Jerusalem, in the Fall-Winter 1993. were measured by high resolution 7-ray spectroscopy using an intrinsic Ge detector. 134Cs and 137Cs derived from Chernobyl accident were found in all samples, though the radiocesium activity varied widely (from 0.6 to 40 Bq/kg I37Cs). Four depth profiles demonstrated that the cumulative 137Cs concentration is at least twice the surface value. Mushrooms were collected at three sites during the same sampling period. These samples exhibited varying transfer coefficients among sites with a maximal radiocesium uptake of 100 Bq/kg fresh weight. The radiocesium measurements are among the first reported for the Jerusalem region. Due to the rather high degree of mobility exhibited in these soils, it is not possible to perform any precise extrapolation in order to estimate the original activity of the radiocesium fallout. 10.6 -1- INTRODUCTION Approximately ten days after the explosion at the Chernobyl unit-4 reactor on April 26, 1986, the radioactive plume arrived over Israel, accompanied by a patchy drizzle. Measurements of air, soil, water and vegetation were taken by the authorities during and soon after the incident at certain sites in the country.
