: 10.0pt"> Since September, 2000, 83 Palestinian suicide bombers have killed 296 Israelis in Israeli territory. But the government says they have foiled another 175 attacks. Some of these operations are public, but many of the aborted suicide attacks are halted in the shadows, due to cooperation from Palestinian informers and Israeli agents passing as Arabs in Palestinian territory. These operations are kept quiet to protect the identities of  agents and informers.
