Text on screen: “On March 7, 1988, a self-sacrificing squad belonging to Fatah carried out the Dimona operation, in which an Israeli bus that was transporting laborers and workers to the Israeli nuclear center was hijacked. The self-sacrificing fighters sought to release the Palestinians whom Israel had arrested during the [first] Intifada(i.e., Palestinian wave of violence and terror against Israel, approximately 200 Israelis murdered, 1987-1993), but the occupation forces attempted to attack the bus and the self-sacrificing fighters died as Martyrs and killed three Israeli officers and a woman (sic.).”
Mothers’ Bus attack – 3 Israelis – Miriam Ben-Yair, Rina Shiratzky, and Victor Ram – were murdered when the bus they were on that was carrying workers to the Negev Nuclear Research Center in Dimona was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists Muhammad Abd Al-Qader Muhammad Issa, Muhammad Khalil Saleh Al-Khanafi, and Abdallah Abd Al-Majid Muhammad Kallab on March 7, 1988. The attack is referred to as the Mothers' Bus attack because many of the passengers were working mothers. The terrorists were all killed by an Israel Police counter-terrorism unit.
