Israa Jaabis
Israa Jaabis is a Palestinian woman imprisoned in Israel since 2015. Jaabis serious injured herself and police officer Moshe Chen when she detonated a car bomb in 2015. In the incident, Jaabis, a 31-year-old Palestinian, planned to detonate a gas tank near a soldiers' hitchhiking station close to Ma'ale Adumim. Police officer Moshe Chen stopped Jaabis's car, at which point she yelled "Allahu Akbar" and detonated the bomb. For his actions, Moshe received a commendation from the police. However, he sustained severe injuries in the attack, including burns to his face and chest. Jaabis was evacuated to hospital in Jerusalem with burns to her entire body. Handwritten notes expressing support for terrorists were discovered on Jaabis. In popular culture

Jaabis's story was featured in a documentary film Advocate in 2019. According to the film, Jaabis loaded butane tanks into the backseat of her car one morning and drove into Jerusalem, where she set the car on fire. Israeli prosecutors interpreted Jaabis' actions as a botched suicide bombing and terrorism attempt intended to kill Jewish people. However, the lawyer Lea Tsemel, who took on Jaabis' case, questioned whether her intent was actually to commit an act of violence. Tsemel learned from Jaabis' relatives that she was depressed and unhappy in her marriage, and had attempted suicide twice before. Tsemel wondered if this time Jaabis had intended "suicide by cop" rather than a politically-motivated attack. However, the court was not convinced, and ruled that her sole intent was to kill.
