A senior Hamas terrorist has been charged with the murder of 36 Israeli civilians in a string of terrorist attacks.
In the Judea military court, Ibrahim Hamad was charged with coordinating three attacks in 2002: the suicide bombing at Café Moment in Jerusalem, in which 11 people were killed; the suicide attack at the Sheffield snooker club in Rishon LeTzion, in which 16 people were killed; and the bombing at the Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus campus, which killed nine people.
Hamad was also charged with responsibility for causing an explosion in a gas tanker at the Pli-Glilot fuel depot near Herzliya, and for placing an explosive charge on railway tracks near Rehovot. In addition, he was charged with planning to place a large explosive device at the Tzvata club in Tel Aviv, an attack which was prevented when his accomplices were arrested.
