The Immanuel bus attack was an ambush attack by Palestinian militants against Israeli civilians on 16 July 2002. It was carried out by three Palestinians disguised as Israeli soldiers. The attack came less than a year after the 2001 Immanuel bus attack.
The attackers first detonated a roadside bomb next to an armored civilian Dan No. 189 bus. Immediately afterwards, the assailants opened fire and threw hand grenades at the passengers. Nine Israelis were killed in the attack and 20 people suffered various degrees of injuries.
The attack was claimed by the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and coordinated with Fatah.https://books.google.com/books?id=aVcG7EkuPgAC&dq=%22dflp%22+terror&pg=PA145 145 Stephen Sloan Sean K. Anderson 2009 Historical Dictionary of Terrorism Scarecrow 9780810863118
The attack
On Tuesday afternoon, 16 July 2002, three armed Palestinians militants disguised as Israeli soldiers planted a roadside bomb beside the road leading to the Jewish settlement of Immanuel, about 200 meters before the entrance to the town. After placing the bomb, the assailants ambushed a bus on its way from Bnei Brak.http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/07/16/hanna.mideast.otsc/index.html CNN.com - Mike Hanna: Attack comes amid high security - July 16, 2002 Mike Hanna cnn.com 2011 16 October 2011 11 February 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080211200446/http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/07/16/hanna.mideast.otsc/index.html dead http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFAArchive/2000_2009/2002/7/Terrorist%20attack%20on%20bus%20at%20Emmanuel%20-%20July%2016-%20200 Terrorist attack on bus at Emmanuel - July 16- 200 mfa.gov.il 2011 16 October 2011
At about 15:00 an armored Dan bus line 189, en route to Immanuel from Bnei Brak, approached the site as the roadside bomb exploded. As a result of the explosion, the bus was immobilized. The assailants fired small arms at the bus and threw hand grenades at the passengers through its roof and windows.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=pDNSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JTYNAAAAIBAJ&pg=7262,4260253 The Victoria Advocate - Google News Archive Search 16 December 2014https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ytNRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RXADAAAAIBAJ&pg=1828,4143692 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Google News Archive Search 16 December 2014
