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 has rejected the final round of negotiations mediated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt for a ceasefire and hostage deal, heightening tensions in the Gaza conflict. The rejection undermines efforts by the Biden administration to broker peace. Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, might be planning further resistance or leveraging the situation for better terms, possibly anticipating or coordinating with broader regional actions involving Iran or Hezbollah. This move adds uncertainty to an already volatile situation
