The '''2003 French hill suicide bombings''' was a twin suicide bombing of an [[Egged (company)|Egged]] bus in the [[French Hill]] neighborhood of [[Jerusalem]], on 18 May 2003. Seven passengers were killed in the attack, and 20 injured. A few minutes after the first attack, a second [[suicide attack|suicide bomber]] blew himself up at the entrance to the village of Dahiya el-Barid, near Jerusalem. Only the bomber was killed in what appeared to be a premature detonation.<ref name="The Age"/><ref name="CNN"/>
