Four Women Die in Suicide Bombing in Israel

HeadlineJul 13, 2005

In Israel, four women have died in a suicide bombing near a shopping mall in the coastal town of Netanya. The dead included two 16-year-old girls from Tel Aviv. 30 people remain hospitalized. The bomber was identified as an 18-year-old member of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad. Earlier this morning Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Tul Karm killing at least two people. Israel has put the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip under total closure for an indefinite period of time. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Israel’s Defense Minister ordered a suspension of talks between Israeli and Palestinian defense officials. Israel is also expected to postpone the planned transfer of Bethlehem to the Palestinian Authority which was set to take place later this week.
