      Memorial Sunday for Bus Attack Victims


      A memorial will be held on Sunday for the 35 victims of an attack on an Egged bus in March of 1978.  Seventy-one people were wounded in the attack, which became known as the “Autobus HaDamim” or “Blood-bathed Bus” massacre. 

      Several government officials will take part in the ceremony, including Minister Yitzchak Herzog.  The ceremony will take place next to Glilot Junction, where a monument has been built in memory of the victims.
