ON THIS DAY IN 2002, CORBYN'S MATES...

Hamas bombed a café in Jerusalem, killing eleven civilians and injuring 54 others.  It was Saturday night and the Café Moment was rammed with young people.  The suicide bomber entered the premises at 22:30 and immediately detonated his explosives, completely gutting the ground floor.  Ten of those killed were in their twenties and included a waitress on her first shift and an engaged couple due to be married two months later.

Despite the threat of terrorism, the café was largely considered safe as it was situated across the road from the Prime Minister's residence.  The mother of one of the victims later described how she urged her daughter not to go out as the threat level was so high, but she replied: "Don't worry, I am going to the safest place there is, across from the prime minister's residence".  Livnat Dvash perished along with two of her friends.

The paramilitary wing of Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.  In August 2002 the terror cell responsible were apprehended in east Jerusalem.  The terrorists were behind several attacks that resulted in a total of 35 deaths.  They were released from prison in 2011 as part of the prisoner exchange for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
