Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Pp-30-500 Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox terrorist attack The 2001 Immanuel bus attack was an ambush attack by Palestinian militants targeting Israeli civilians on the West Bank on 12 December 2001. Eleven passengers were killed in the attack and 30 were injured.[1]
The Palestinian Islamist militant organization al-Qassam Brigades[2] claimed responsibility for the attack.[3]
The attack
On 12 December 2001, three armed Palestinians militants planted a roadside bomb beside the road leading to the Jewish settlement of Immanuel. After placing two roadside bombs, the assailants ambushed a bus on its way from Bnei Brak.[4]
Soon after, a non-armoured[5] Dan bus line 189, en route to Immanuel from Bnei Brak, approached the site as two roadside bombs exploded.[4][6] The bus, which was greatly damaged in the explosions,[5] continued to drive several hundred meters until it was immobilized. Immediately after the bus was immobilized, one of the militants approached the bus, threw hand grenades into the bus, and fired small arms on the passengers of the bus and at the vehicles arriving at the site, while the passengers attempted to flee the bus.[5][6] The passengers of three other vehicles traveling on this road at that time were also affected.[7]
Shortly after, the three attackers fired on cars near the settlement and rescue workers trying to help the victims. One gunman was run over by an army jeep and then shot dead, but the others escaped. Palestinian officials identified the dead man as 21-year-old Asem Rihan, a Hamas member and student at Al Najah University in Nablus.[8]
11 people were killed in the attack and about 30 were injured.[9]
