CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM - Every week in Israel, authorities prevent dozens of potential suicide attacks from Palestinians. But hundreds, even thousands in the West Bank and Gaza Strip continue to volunteer to attack Israelis.

And, a growing number of them are women.

Some of the women in training are part of a terror group called the Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades.

And in the strange world of the Middle East, although their group is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, they're also part of the Fatah Party, led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, America's designated partner for Middle East peace.

They train in Gaza's olive groves, learning to move out as a unit.

They also learn to operate light weapons, part of their training diversity.

Om Jandal is a Martyr's Brigades commander. She's in charge of the "army of women" based in Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp. And she's the mother of four children.

"In the battlefield I can be a soldier, and when I am back at home, I will go back to motherhood and be a wife to my husband," said Jandal.

Om Jandal claims to have 300 women prepared to sacrifice to kill Israelis.
