Couple of things about this fatwa..

Rather it will probably just make the enemy more determined, and this action will provoke malice and bitterness in his heart to such an extent that he may seek to wreak havoc upon the Muslims. This is what is found from the practice of the Jews with the people of Palestine so when one of the Palestinian blows himself up and kills six or seven people, then in retaliation they take sixty or more. So this does not produce any benefit for the Muslims, and does not benefit those amongst whose ranks explosives are detonated.

The principles of the above would still apply to conventional battle tactics. So it sounds like it's discouraging jihad, period.
In regards to this

I personally still see it as suicide, but there are many shuyukh like Sh. Qaradawi who disagree.. so I don't think one can make conclusive statements about it one way or another. Also, if someone does this with a sincere intention to please Allah SWT, assuming they don't kill any civilians, then I would hope and make dua their actions would be rewarded by their intention ..
