The attack

At about 17:30 pm on Wednesday, June 11, 2003, a Palestinian suicide bomber dressed as an Orthodox Jew, boarded bus No. 14a at the Mahane Yehuda market bus stop on Jaffa Road. At Davidka Square, the bomber detonated his explosive device, which contained a large quantity of metal shrapnel designed to cause maximum casualties.[1][2][3]

17 people were killed in the attack and more than 100 people were injured, including dozens of passersby.[1][2]

The perpetrator

Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that the attack was an act of vengeance for the Israeli assassination attempt on the senior Hamas leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi on Tuesday, June 10, 2003. Rantisi survived the assassination attempt during which Israeli helicopters fired missiles at his car.[1]

Lawsuits were filed against Arab Bank, NatWest and Crédit Lyonnais for channeling money to Hamas.[4]

Israeli retaliation

Shortly after the bus attack, Israeli helicopters fired rockets at a moving car in Gaza that was carrying two senior Hamas members, among others. All of the car's six passengers were killed, including Hamas leader Tito Masoud.[5][6][7]

Official reactions
