Shin Bet: Terrorists Recruiting More Women, Minors
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - According to Shin Bet officials, terrorist organizations continue to perceive that women are less susceptible to checks by security forces and are therefore more likely to enter Israel without raising suspicions. Over the past four years, 40 female terrorists were recruited to carry out suicide bomb attacks. Seven blew up, and security forces arrested 33. In some instances, they posed as pregnant women, stuffing a pillow underneath their garments. So far this year 109 Palestinian minors were arrested for involvement in terrorist activities compared to a total of 102 in 2003, 54 in 2002, and 27 in 2001.
