This was the first Israeli counter tactic before they got technological edge over the Arabs.

I remember one of those stories about Pershing's little war with the Moro's (Muslim fanatics from the southern-most island of the Philippines):
Source
Although the indigenous uprising following American victory in the Philippine Islands (conducted by our former allies in the fight against the Spanish) ended formally in July 1902, various insurgent groups were determined to fight on. A great number of these were Moro terrorists, ancestors of today's MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front), a bloodthirsty group of Islamic seperatists funded by nice people like Iran and -until recently- Muommar Gaddafi.
The legend goes that after continued terrorist attacks on US troops and installations -in addition to the massacre of captured American soldiers- General Pershing ordered his Marines to go out and round-up 50 adult male perps. Back at the base, they were promptly strapped to wooden polls, execution-style.
As the firing squad had been ordered -and to the resolute horror of the Moro captives- a couple pigs were freshly slaughtered right in front of them. Our guys then soaked their bullets in the blood and fat prior to loading.
After executing the first 49 -who according to the Koran were automatically barred from Paradise (even while dying a martyr) due to porcine 'contamination'- Pershing had the bodies unceremoniously tossed into a mass grave with the residual pig carcasses/entrails piled-high on top, a yummy snack for the confounded jihadis to enjoy on the way to Hell.
The 50th Islamist was then cut loose to go tell everybody back at the encampment exactly what he'd just witnessed... and for 42 years, there was not a single Muslim terrorist attack anywhere in the world... how bout that.
True story? The libs at Snopes couldn't disprove it... and imo shows the amazing potential of today's innovative Plant-a-Pig program(!)
Wake up and smell the coffee.

How about this one ? It doesn't get much better than this. This should be the standard reply - with the other two replies being for "somewhat less ordinary" - cases.Six years later, in October 1985, Alpha Group was dispatched to war-torn Beirut, Lebanon. The Kremlin was informed of the kidnapping of four Soviet diplomats by the militant group, the Islamic Liberation Organization (a radical offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood). It was believed that this was retaliation for the Soviet support of Syrian involvement in the Lebanese Civil War.[16] However, by the time Alpha arrived, one of the hostages had already been killed. Through a network of supporting KGB operatives, members of the task-force identified each of the perpetrators involved in the crisis, and once identified, began to take the relatives of these militants as hostages. Following the standard Soviet policy of no negotiations with terrorists, some of the hostages taken by Alpha Group were dismembered, and their body parts sent to the militants. The warning was clear: more would follow unless the remaining hostages were released immediately. The show of force worked, and for a period of 20 years[17] no Soviet or Russian officials were taken captive, until the 2006 abduction and murder of four Russian embassy staff in Iraq. However, the veracity of this story has been brought into question. Another version says that the release of the Soviet hostages was the result of extensive diplomatic negotiations with the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, who appealed to King Hussein of Jordan, and the leaders of Libya and Iran, to use their influence on the kidnappers.[18]
