Since the outbreak of "Al Aksa intifada" three and a half years ago there has been a growing trend in the use of Palestinian children aged 11 to 17 who are recruited by terrorist organizations to perpetrate attacks in Israel.
In addition, terrorist organizations often use children's toys and backpacks to hide bombs they plan to smuggle to activists elsewhere to be used in attacks.
The most recent incident was the attempt by Fatah Tanzim terrorists in Nablus this week to smuggle a 10-kg. bomb hidden in a bag which they asked 11-year-old Abdullah Quran to carry through the Hawara checkpoint and hand to a woman waiting on the other side. When Quran was stopped by soldiers who asked to inspect the bags he was carrying and the contents of one revealed a bomb, his dispatchers attempted to activate it and blow him up near the soldiers.
Twenty-nine suicide bombers under the age of 18 have been dispatched by terrorist organizations to perpetrate attacks since the outbreak of violence three and a half years ago.

Offering more minors as homicide bombers is a sign of the greatest heights of desperation and moral bankruptcy. We may well be on the verge of complete anarchy in the disputed territories, particularly Gaza. With little means of striking back at Israel, the Palestinians may well turn their desperation on one another. We will be watching with interest.
