Who is the Lone Terrorist?

A Study of Vehicle-Borne Attackers in Israel and the West Bank explores the characteristics and motivations of individuals who carry out vehicle-borne attacks.

Authored by Simon Perry, Badi Hasisi, and Gali Perry, the study analyzes data from 62 attacks between 2000 and 2016.

The authors examine factors such as the attackers’ backgrounds, affiliations, and prior criminal records.

The research challenges common assumptions about lone terrorists, revealing that many attackers have no prior group affiliation.

The study also investigates the role of social media and online radicalization in inspiring these attacks.

The findings contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon of lone-actor terrorism and inform strategies for prevention and intervention.
