Yahya Ayyash nicknamed "The Engineer" was a Palestinian terrorist, one of the founders of Hamas's Ezz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades And one of those responsible for introducing the method of suicide bombings in the 90s as part of Palestinian terrorism in Israel. These terrorist attacks claimed the lives of over a hundred Israelis. Israel Shin bet Service assassinated Eish using a booby-trapped cell phone in 1996.

But there is a very interesting titbit in Wikipedia. He wanted to go to Jordan to study, but his visa application was declined by the Israeli authorities and only then he turned into terrorism.

The most successful way to fight terrorism is to provide those people some future, some prosperity, some hope. People turn to terrorism when they are struggling, when they don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

It's why critical equipment has a very tight delivery deadline. If it arrives a minute late it's assumed somebody tampered with it along the supply chain and the equipment is rejected.
