Back-to-back Suicide Attacks Kill Four In Israel & West Bank

HeadlineAug 12, 2003

Four people including two apparent suicide bombers, died in back to back attacks in Israel and the West Bank today. The first attack occurred at a shopping center in the Israeli town of Rosh Ha’ayin. The second took place 40 minutes later at a bus stop near the Israeli settlement town of Ariel in the West Bank. Agence France Press reports the attacks came four days after an Israeli raid on the West Bank town of Nablus that left four Palestinians and an Israeli soldier dead. No group has taken responsibility for the bombings. A Hamas spokesman told AFP that Israel is “responsible for this situation because of their rejection of the ceasefire and their tough position.” The attacks were the first suicide bombings in the area since July 7.
