The ultimate goal of the suicide bomber is to force a reaction on the part of the soldiers targeted by the attack, to make them see the civilian population around them as a potential enemy, and respond accordingly. When every civilian carry a wide attack, then even soldiers who are not normally trigger-happy may be goaded by fear into harming innocent people. It is important to realize that stopping the suicide attacker before he (or she) commits his attack is next to impossible; he will certainly try to detonate his explosives as soon as a soldier approaches.

The Israeli army has been forced to deal with suicide attackers over the past 20 years in southern Lebanon, as well as more recently in the West Bank and Gaza strip. The Israeli experience has shown that the only hope of countering this phenomenon lies in thwarting the attack before the attacker sets out on his mission.

The suicide bomber is not a lone “crazy” acting out of rage. Rather, he is the tip of an operational iceberg consisting of recruiters, intelligence gatherers, bomb makers, and trainers.

All of these elements are vulnerable to counter-terrorist operations, provided that one has accurate intelligence and the military capability to act decisively against them.

In Israel such counter-terrorist operations often take the form of “targeted killing” operations against those responsible for sending the suicide bomber on his mission.

However, if the intelligence needed to do this is lacking, it falls to defensive measures to stop the attack, or at least to minimize the damage. Roadblocks, check- points, and surprise inspections can help in locating the suicide attacker and preventing him from reaching his target. Precautions must be taken not to create easy targets for suicide attacks, by avoiding the concentration of soldiers in one place or housing command centers in multi-story buildings.

In dealings with the civilian population, the possibility of booby traps must be taken into account. Thus someone wishing to surrender should be checked from a distance to see that he is not carrying explosives. Vehicles should be prevented from directly entering a military base or checkpoint. All services provided by members of the indigenous population should be subject to stringent security checks.

The military should also be aware of the possibility of multiple suicide attacks, where explosives are detonated in sequence in order to target first responders or to overcome consecutive obstacles in the way of penetration of a protected space.

The possibility of suicide operations on the modern battlefield complicates the military campaign, and requires a whole different mindset from that needed for conventional warfare. Soldiers must be made aware of the risks and be ready to change their collective behavior in accordance with the changing circumstances, without playing into the enemy’s hands by targeting the civilian population.
