On Wednesday evening, 17 July 2002, at 22:10 pm, two Palestinian suicide bombers, wearing explosive belts containing about 33 kilograms (73 lb) of explosives, blew themselves up, only 20 meters apart, at the Neve Sha'anan street in Tel Aviv, near the Old Tel Aviv Central Bus Station. The explosives hidden on the bodies of the suicide bombers contained a large quantity of shrapnel and nails, to maximize the amount of injuries. Three people were killed there immediately from the force of the blasts and 40 people were injured. Two additional people died of their injuries a few days later.
The Palestinian Islamist militant organization Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the double attack.
