On August 19, 2003, a Palestinian suicide bomber of Hamas' Hebron cell, apparently disguised as a Haredi Jew, detonated himself on a No. 2 Egged bus in Jerusalem's Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood. The double-length bus was crowded with Orthodox Jewish children coming back from the Western Wall. The huge explosion caused lethal damage, killing seven children and 16 adult civilians, and wounding over 130 people.
