Wafa Idris (Arabic: وفاء إدريس 1975 – January 27, 2002), a Palestinian Red Crescent volunteer, was the first female suicide bomber in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

At the time of her suicide, Idris was a 28-year-old divorcee and lived in the Am'ari Refugee Camp in Ramallah.

[2] According to her relatives, Idris served on the Am'ari refugee camp's women's committee during the first intifada, where she assisted in food distribution at times of curfew, provided social support and helped prisoners' families.

"[10] Her husband sent her back to her childhood home to live with her mother, a brother, and his wife and five children.

[7] On 27 January 2002, Idris was transported to Jerusalem by a Red Crescent ambulance, whose driver was part of the plot, and killed herself while committing the Jaffa Street bombing.

[12] Idris, wearing a Red Crescent uniform, then detonated a 22-pound (10 kilogram) bomb made up of TNT packed into pipes, in the center of Jerusalem outside a shoe store on the busy main shopping street Jaffa Road.

[5][18] The Arabic London-based international newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat theorized that her divorce and barrenness had led her to commit a suicide terrorist attack.

[1] The bombing created intense interest in the Arab media, with many newspapers describing Idris as a hero and a nationalist.
