The Palestinian Islamist militant organization [[Hamas]] claimed responsibility for the attack.<ref name="bbc"/>

== Aftermath ==

=== Israeli retaliation ===
The Israeli government accused Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian leadership of involvement in the [[Second Intifada]] militancy campaign and in [[Arms trafficking|illegal arms trafficking]]. After an emergency meeting of the security cabinet, convened in wake of the bombing, Israel launched a military operation in the [[West Bank]] in which tanks and armored vehicles began a siege on [[Mukataa|the compound of Yasser Arafat in Ramallah]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Huggler |first=Justin |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/arafat-trapped-in-compound-as-tank-shells-rain-down-131778.html |title=Arafat trapped in compound as tank shells rain down |work=The Independent |date=21 September 2002 |access-date=21 October 2018}}</ref> Arafat was besieged in the Mukataa compound for close to two years until his departure to a hospital in Paris in October 2004. Much of the Mukataa was destroyed by the IDF in the course of the siege.

=== Organ donation ===
Among the victims was Yoni Jesner, a Jewish teenager who attended Har Etzion yeshiva in Gush Etzion. Jesner sustained a critical head injury, and his parents signed their consent to detaching him from [[life support]] and donating his organs. Yasmin Abu Ramila, a 7-year old Palestinian girl from [[East Jerusalem]], was the recipient of his kidney. The surgery was successful and Yasmin reportedly has a very good chance of living a normal life.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Phillips |first=Alan |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/1408171/Organ-donation-breaches-divide.html |title=Organ donation breaches divide |publisher=Telegraph |date=24 September 2002 |access-date=27 November 2012 | location=London}}</ref><ref>[http://www.informaworld.com/index/741389985.pdf Orit Brawer Ben-Davida, "Ranking deaths in Israeli society: Premature deaths and organ donation – Mortality: Promoting the interdisciplinary study of death and dying"], ''Mortality'', Volume 11, Issue 1, February 2006, pages 79–98</ref> The story was widely reported due to the circumstances and Jesner's organ being donated to a child on the opposite side of the conflict.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thejc.com/community/community-life/21234/legacy-bomb-victim |title=Legacy of bomb victim |publisher=The Jewish Chronicle |date=22 October 2009 |access-date=27 November 2012}}</ref>
