1989 suicide attack on civilians by Palestinian Islamic Jihad

On 6 July 1989, Abd al-Hadi Ghanim, a 25-year-old militant of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, seized the steering wheel of a crowded Egged commuter bus line No. 405 en route from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and ran it off a steep cliff into a ravine in the area of Qiryat Ye'arim. Sixteen civilians—including two Canadians and one American—died in the attack, and 27 were wounded.
