December 12, 2001 Terror attack near Emmanuel killing 11 Israelis

“7 Israelis Killed in Ambush on Bus.  Disguised Palestinians Set Blast Near Settlement, Then Open Fire.”

Palestinian attackers staged an ambush on a bus and other vehicles near Emmanuel killing 11 Israelis, injuring 30 and prompting Israel to sever contact with the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.  Local Israeli officials said they saw no obvious reason that Emmanuel was singled out for a second attack [on July 17, 2002], other than that the terrain affords cover.
