Hanadi Jaradat
Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAN : Hanadi Jaradat
Hanadi Tayseer Abdul Malek Jaradat (September 22, 1975 – October 4, 2003), a Palestinian woman from Jenin, blew herself up on Saturday, October 4, 2003 in an attack on Maxim's restaurant in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. Twenty-one people of various nationalities were fatally wounded and 51 were injured. She was one of the Al-Aqsa Intifada's first female suicide bombers.
Jaradat was a lawyer and a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Islamist militant group that the U.S., EU and Israel consider a terrorist organization. According to some reports, she was motivated by the death of her cousin (Salah, 34) and younger brother (Fadi, 25) in her presence during an IDF undercover operation to apprehend a cousin who was wanted by Israel.
A photo of Jaradat was the central element in the artwork Snow White and The Madness of Truth.
