In 2004, the security forces foiled 367 suicide attacks in Judea and Samaria.
While the number of suicide attacks declined, this does not indicate any difference whatsoever in the motivation of the terrorist organizations to attack Israeli targets.
Throughout 2004, there was no significant change in the number of warnings from month to month.
In reaction to the construction of the security fence, the terrorist organizations have increasingly used minors and women to perpetrate suicide attacks by exploiting their innocent appearance, in an attempt to fool security force personnel at checkpoints.
