On August 4, 2002, a [[Palestinian suicide attacks\|Palestinian suicide bomber]] from the militant group [[Hamas]] conducted a [[suicide bombing]] aboard an [[Egged (company)\|Egged]] bus at the Meron junction in northern Israel near [[Safed]]. In addition to the bomber, six Israeli civilians, and three Israeli soldiers were killed.

On 27 August, Israeli authorities arrested 7 Arab-Israelis, all members of the same family, who allegedly assisted the bomber.
