A woman suicide bomber who surrendered to the IDF was going to carry a baby during her attack.
The woman would-be suicide bomber, Umiya Muhammad Damaj, 24, of the refugee camp in Jenin, surrendered to IDF troops on July 27. She allegedly told her interrogators that she had been influenced by the suicide-bomb attack in Jerusalem by a woman resident of Bethlehem in March this year.
She allegedly approached a senior member of the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank and offered to be a suicide bomber, saying it was a woman’s right to have the privilege of perpetrating such an act.
Damaj was contacted two weeks later and was reportedly informed that she would be given the opportunity to carry out an attack holding a baby as a disguise. In the event, the attack was not perpetrated.
She was later offered another mission. She prepared a letter for her family and was later filmed holding a rifle and a copy of the Koran. A week before the planned attack, however, she surrendered, saying that one of the reasons was concern that her family’s home might be demolished.
