 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Kiryat HaYovel supermarket bombing. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2011. |
Rachel Levy (Template:Lang-he) was killed at age 17 on March 29, 2002 when Ayat al-Akhras, a teenage Palestinian female suicide bomber, wearing a belt of explosives around her waist, blew herself up at the entrance to a supermarket in Jerusalem's Kiryat Hayovel neighborhood on March 29, 2002.[1] The killings gained widespread international attention due to the suicide bomber's age and gender and the fact that one of the two Israeli dead was a girl of nearly identical age as the bomber, who herself had a coincidentally similar "twin-like" appearance to the bomber. The killings led U.S. President George W. Bush to observe: “When an 18-year-old Palestinian girl is induced to blow herself up and in the process kills a 17-year-old Israeli girl, the future itself is dying, the future of the Palestinian people and the future of the Israeli people.”[2]
