Family of Female Palestinian Suicide Bomber: Her Father Handed out Sweets in Celebration

On October 8, 2019, Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Palestine – Islamic Jihad) aired a report about Hanadi Jaradat, a Palestinian woman from Jenin who carried out a suicide bombing in a restaurant in Haifa on October 4, 2003. Hanadi’s mother, who was interviewed in the report, praised Allah for having given Hanadi what she had asked for, and Hanadi’s brother said that his father had handed out sweets upon hearing about the operation and wanted people to give him congratulations instead of condolences. Women’s issues activist Umm Ahmad said that Israel arrogantly thinks that women who carry out attacks are uneducated and ignorant, but that many of them are doctors, teachers, and lawyers. She saluted Palestinian martyrs.
