Hamas’s latest claims of responsibility indicate resumption of suicide attacks
2024-09-05
Trying for Intifada III.
[IsraelTimes] For the first time in nearly two decades, Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
has started using the term "suicide kabooms" with regard to its latest terror bombings.

In its latest claim of responsibility following a dual boom-mobileing in the Gush Etzion area on Friday, Hamas praised the two perpetrators, Hebron residents Muhammad Ihsan Marqa and Zuhdi Abu Afifa, and announced "the first martyrdom operations in the Hebron governorate," employing the term commonly used in Arabic for suicide attacks.

In its statement, the terror group vowed to deliver further "painful surprises" throughout the West Bank.

The twin boom-mobileing came two days after top Hamas official Khaled Mashaal called for a resumption of suicide kabooms in the West Bank, as the terror group comes under heavy military pressure in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

had claimed an intended suicide kaboom in Tel Aviv. The attacker died when his backpack went kaboom!, and a passerby was injured. The joint statement by the two terror groups referred to the operation as a suicide kaboom.

Hamas championed this type of attacks for years, and conducted them throughout the 1990s and through the end of the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, but they have been rare in the years since.

According to government sources, the latest suicide kaboom claimed by Hamas inside Israel was in a shopping center in the southern city of Dimona in February 2008, in which a woman was killed and 38 were maimed.

Another suicide attack was carried out by a member of Hamas’s military wing on a bus in Jerusalem in April 2016, in which 21 were maimed. The group did not officially claim the operation at the time.

Experts indicate that multiple attempts to carry out suicide kabooms were foiled in recent years.
