{{unsourced|date=July 2019}} [[File:North face south tower after plane strike 9-11.jpg|thumb|[[September 11 attacks|Four coordinated suicide attacks]] targeted the United States on September 11, 2001 (commonly known as 9/11)]] [[File:Youngest kamikaze only 17 years old.jpg|thumb|[[Kamikaze]] pilots, aged 17, with a puppy]] A '''suicide attack''' is an [[:wikt:attack|attack]] where the attacker (either one person or a group of people) plans on [[kill]]ing people and/or destroying property while also [[suicide|dying in the process]]. In a suicide attack, the attacker dies as a result of the attack, for example in an [[explosion]] or a [[crash]]. Nowadays, suicide attacks are often done with a [[vehicle]] or an [[explosive material]] such as a [[bomb]] (a suicide bombing), or sometimes both (i.e. a [[car]] filled with explosives). If everything goes according to plan, the attacker is killed as soon as their attack is complete (when their vehicle crashes or their bomb [[detonation|detonates]]). Suicide attacks are often done in a crowded place so that as many people as possible are killed. They are common in the [[Middle East]] and [[South Asia]]. Most attacks on [[Israel]], carried out by [[Hamas]] or other [[Palestine|Palestinian]] [[Militant group|militant groups]] are suicide bombings. The [[kamikaze]] were suicide attacks by Japanese pilots during [[World War II]]. {{military-stub}} [[Category:Suicide attacks]]
