Suicide Bombing In The City Of Dimona:tactics, Techniques,rnand Lessons Learned By Law Enforcement

摘要

The frequency of mass casualty incidents (MCI) due to terrorist attacks has increased in recent weeks in Israel and worldwide. These events can occur in central or peripheral towns, and in urban or rural areas. Numerous events, mainly involving conventional bombs detonated in heavily populated areas, have occurred throughout the world as indicated in the London bombing (Almogy, 2004), and in Israel in the vicinity of surrounding trauma centers (Bloch, Y, Schwartz, D., Bar-Dayan, Y, etal., 2007).rnThe last successful suicide bombing attack in Israel was in the southern City of Eilat on January 29, 2007. The attack was carried out by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in collaboration with a Fatah terror cell. The suicide bomber originated from the Gaza Strip and detonated himself at bakery, killing three Israelis (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2007).
