    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.

    GENERAL GENERAL S E C U R 1 T Y mm;;;5 ASSEMBLY C 0 U N C I L ;;G;;;;berlg79 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH/FRENCH GENERAL ASSEMBLY SECURITY COUNCIL Thirty-fourth session Thirty-fourth year Agenda item 24 QUESTION OF PALESTINE Letter dated 18 October 1979 from the Chairman of the Comittee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People addressed - to th,e Secretary-General On behalf of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, I wish to draw your attention to the latest decision reportedly taken by the Israeli Government to authorize the expansion of seven Israeli settlements in the Arab territories illegally occupied by Israel since 1967. The adoptiop of such a decision, in violation of international law, of the resolutions of the United Nations and of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, can only intensify the tensions in the Middle East and considerably increase the dangers threatening international peace and security. Moreover, that decision and other measures of the same kind recently taken by Israel in disregard of the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council, and in particular of Security Council resolution 452 (1979), clearly show that that country is acting in bad faith when it claims to be a peaceful State which, as a Member of the United Nations, is desirous of arriving at a complete solution of the Middle East problem. You will find annexed hereto a copy of a document of the World Zionist Organization entitled "Master plan for the development of settlement in Judea and Samaria, 1979-1983", which appears to represent the framework for the new measures the Israeli Government intends to take in this connexion, in defiance of world public opinion.

Acosta ABSTRACT Since the early 1990s, Palestinian organizations have drawn from many sources and incrementally refined the process of suicide terrorism. By making the modus operandi socially acceptable and even fashionable, Palestinian organizations have normalized the deployment of suicide­ homicide bombers. These organizations have optimized the progress individuals take from reasoning and justifying to rationalizing and actually committing suicide terrorism.

  • A Fence Around Jerusalem the Construction of the Security Fence Around Jerusalem General Background and Implications for the City and Its Metropolitan Area
    The Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies The Teddy Kollek Center for Jerusalem Studies A Fence Around Jerusalem The Construction of the Security Fence Around Jerusalem General background and implications for the city and its metropolitan area Kobi Michael and Amnon Ramon 2004 Introduction In April 2002, following a lengthy series of brutal terrorist attacks, the Ministerial Committee for National Security (hereafter: the Security Cabinet), headed by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, decided to establish a security fence between Israel and the West Bank.1 Two months later, the government authorized the route of the fence as proposed by the security establishment, between Sallem, in the northwest area of the West Bank, and Kafr Kassem, as well as two sections in the Jerusalem area. Three major sections have been completed since work began in August 2002: the central section between Sallem and Elkana, constituting the main part of the fence; the northeastern section, in the Mount Gilboa region, between Sallem and Kibbutz Tirat Zvi; and two sections in the south and north of Jerusalem. In addition, parts of the obstacle were built east of Jersualem. Both the decision-making process with regard to the fence and the geographic reality and the political consciousness it has created reflect the problematic and complex nature of decisions concerning national security in Israel. More specifically, this enormous project will have far-reaching consequences for the mutual relations between Israelis and Palestinians and between Israel and the Palestinian
