Al-Aksa announce female bomber unit
A group belonging to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party announced on Monday that it had recruited 100 Palestinian women to launch suicide attacks against Israel.

A woman who identified herself as Um al-Abed told reporters in Gaza City that so far about 100 women had expressed their desire to carry out suicide attacks against Israel. She claimed she was a spokeswoman for the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah.

The brigades, she added, recently established a secret military unit for female suicide bombers from the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem. "We have so far recruited 100 women for the new unit," Abed said as she sat next to several masked women who identified themselves as members of Fatah. "We are expecting more female suicide bombers. The new unit is now preparing to launch attacks against Israel in response to the Israeli aggression and crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip."

Since September 2000, Palestinian women have carried out seven suicide bombings inside Israel, in which 37 people were killed and more than 250 were wounded. The most serious attack was launched in October 2003 by Hanadi Jaradat, an Islamic Jihad woman from Jenin, who detonated herself at the Maxim Restaurant in Haifa. The bomb left 21 civilians dead and 48 wounded.

1. The girl who bombed Gaza
First female fighter pilot launches missile at tunnel-digging terrorists near Karni crossing

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3273411,00.html

<snip>

"Among the scores of Israel Air Force pilots participating in the numerous sorties and attacks on Gaza in recent days was Capt. Roni, the first female fighter pilot in the IAF. Roni, pilot of an F-16C fighter jet, took part Friday night in an attack on a tunnel near Karni crossing. At 2 AM, squadron planes took off from Hazor base, led by a senior reserves pilot. Roni was the squadron's number two.

The operation commander attacked first, and launched a bomb in the direction of a poultry coop, underneath which was a tunnel. Roni launched a bomb next, also hitting the target. According to IDF sources, digging had begun in recent days, to create a tunnel through which terrorists could infiltrate and attack Israel."

"Roni is the IAF's first female fighter pilot. She completed the flight course in 2001 and became famous when Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, revealed her name at the course's graduation ceremony. Since the IAF flight course became coeducational, more than a decade ago, only 13 women have managed to graduate, with Roni the only one thus far to qualify as a fighter pilot."

3. i can help....
lets see, the female israeli fighter pilot represents women breaking one of the more formidable bastion of the macho male society..hence we see israeli liberalism at the forefront. More so, she is targeting a tunnel meant to tunnel under the border and kill israelis hence she part and parcel of the israeli defense system, using extremely sophisticated technology that few can command.

on the palestenian side we see women joining up to go out and kill civilians using their own bodies as the vehicle, and no doubt whos death and success at killing other children will be celebrated as also a sign of "liberation" of the arab female.

so yes there is correlation of sorts:....both females have broken in to a male sanctioned area:
