Hamas Operative Raed Misk's 2003 Bus Bombing: 24 Dead,130+ Injured, and Will Released After 21 Years

In a stark reminder of the violence that marked the Second Intifada, Raed Misk, a Hamas operative, orchestrated a suicide bombing on Jerusalem's Egged Bus No. 2 on August 19, 2003. The attack resulted in 24 fatalities, including 7 children, and injured over 130 people. Misk, who had disguised himself as a Haredi Jew, used a bomb filled with ball bearings to maximise casualties. He cited the killing of a Hamas leader by the Israeli army as his motivation, expressing pride in his actions in a video released by Hamas. On the 21st anniversary of the bombing, Hamas released excerpts from Misk's will, coinciding with a new suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, highlighting the ongoing violence in the region. This attack continues to underscore the tragic and persistent nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. #Hamas #RaedMisk #2003BusBombing #JerusalemAttack #TelAvivBombing #HamasOperative #IsraeliConflict #MiddleEastTerror #BombingAnniversary #TerroristAttack #PublicTransportAttack #ViolentConflict #HamasTerror #MiddleEastViolence #IsraelSecurity ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~
