Ah, sorry, I meant…

Ah, sorry, I meant of course “suicide bombings of civilians”. I just haven’t heard about a whole lot of suicide bombings against military targets outside of WWII.

Sure you have. For example, Beirut (1983), the U.S.S. Cole (2000), and the Pentagon (September 11, 2001). Suicide bombing in the modern form mostly originated in the Lebanese civil war, where it was very often used against military or militia targets.
