Pregnant Palestinian attempted terror attack

The two Gaza women were arrested at the Erez crossing on May 20 as they were trying to enter Israel.

Fatma Yunes Hassan Zak, 39, a resident of Gaza who was pregnant with her ninth child, had been responsible for an Islamic Jihad Gaza women's employment office for four years.

She had been in contact with Islamic Jihad terrorists and worked as a liaison for women who had volunteered to be suicide bombers.

Three months ago, her niece, Ruda Ibrahim Yunes Habib, 30, a resident of Gaza and mother of four, sought her assistance in perpetrating a suicide attack.

Zak decided to participate in the attack as well, and contacted her Islamic Jihad connection, who aided the two women in putting their plan into operation.

Habib requested the Israeli authorities' permission to travel to Ramallah, falsely claiming she needed to undergo medical tests. Zak was supposed to accompany her.

The Shin Bet maintains that the two were due to meet with an Islamic Jihad militant there, where they would be given explosives belts and taken to the sites of the planned attacks.
