Whereas the suicide bombers of the Second Intifada were sent by handlers from towns and villages in the West Bank to attack targets with which they were not familiar, the perpetrators of the summer and fall of 2014 are self-motivating lone wolves who carry residency status that entitles them to move freely around the city. They often attack targets in the neighborhoods where they work; in Pfeffer's words, "they know when and where to do it", and this makes them hard to stop.Pfeffer Anshel Attack on worshipers in synagogue sets deadly precedent https://www.haaretz.com/2014-11-18/ty-article/.premium/synagogue-strike-sets-deadly-precedent/0000017f-f86c-d318-afff-fb6f62160000 November 18, 2014 Haaretz November 18, 2014 Ingrid Jaradat Gassner, of the Civic Coalition for Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem, remarked in November 2014 that Palestinians feel that they have no leader to stand up for their rights, with politics in flux a decade after the death of Yassir Arafat. The depth of frustration, in her view, has grown significantly due to creeping settlement of their lands, border restrictions on movement, and collective punishment meted out on them when attacks take place. They have, she argues, a sense that Israelis are raising more and more obstacles before the Palestinians' quest for "normal lives".Greg Botelho, "Experts: No third intifada yet -- but few signs of hope, either", CNN.
