The '''1997 Mahane Yehuda Market bombings''' were two consecutive [[suicide bombing]]s carried out by [[Hamas]] militants on 30 July 1997 at the [[Mahane Yehuda Market]] in [[Jerusalem]], the city's main open-air fruit and vegetable market. Sixteen people were killed in the attack and 178 were injured.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Trounson|first=Rebecca|last2=Miller|date=1997-07-31|title=Suicide Blasts at Busy Market Kill 15 in Jerusalem|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-jul-31-mn-18153-story.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-07-20|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US|quote=Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat publicly condemned the bombings as the actions of terrorists...}}</ref>

==The attack==
On Wednesday, 30 July 1997 at 1:15 pm, two [[Palestinian political violence|Palestinian]] suicide bombers who carried bags laden with explosives and nails detonated their explosive devices 45 meters (150 feet) apart almost simultaneously in a central alley in the popular outdoor market, killing 16 civilians, among them an Arab resident of [[Eilabun]], and injuring 178 people, many of them teenagers and tourists.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWgOEQ4LlVk|title=ערוץ 2: פיגוע התאבדות כפול בשוק מחנה יהודה, 30.07.1997 - YouTube|via=YouTube|accessdate=17 December 2014}}</ref>

Thirteen Israelis were killed immediately and three others died later from their injuries. The Mahane Yehuda attack was followed by a triple suicide bombing on the Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall in downtown Jerusalem on 4 September, which killed five Israelis and wounded over 190.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jta.org/news/article/1997/10/05/3824/BMahaneYehudaatt|title=Mahane Yehuda attack toll up to 16|work=Jewish Telegraphic Agency|accessdate=17 December 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415052621/http://www.jta.org/news/article/1997/10/05/3824/BMahaneYehudaatt|archive-date=15 April 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Aftermath==
In retaliation for these and other attacks, a decision was reached to target Hamas leaders. According to an Israeli press release, [[Mossad]] agents tried to poison chairman [[Khaled Mashal]], who resided at the time in [[Jordan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fas.org/irp/world/israel/ciechanover.htm|title=Ciechanover Report on Mish'al Affair|accessdate=17 December 2014}}</ref> The assassination attempt failed and the Mossad agents were captured by the Jordanian authorities. They were later released in exchange for the release of [[Sheikh Ahmed Yassin]], the founder and "spiritual leader" of Hamas who was serving a life sentence in an Israeli prison.<ref name="HLCR231">Hartley, Lea, Cossali and Rowe, 2004, p. 231.</ref><ref>Schanzer, 2008, p. 45.</ref>
