Life

She was born in Ankoun near Sidon and had five brothers and a sister. In early 1985, during the civil war in Lebanon, she became a member of the SSNP. On April 9, 1985, she drove a Peugeot loaded with explosives into an Israeli convoy. In doing so, she killed herself and two Israeli soldiers, and two other soldiers were wounded. After the attack, she was hailed as the “bride of the south” by supporters of her party. She was one of the first female suicide bombers. The National Counterterrorism Center does not classify their act as terrorism, but as an insurrection, because their targets were combatants. At the time of the attack, she was working in a video store. This enabled her to be the first known female suicide bomber to record a video in which she confessed to her act.
