Another bomber tried to attack in Samaria.
The other dead victims were identified as Julia Weltshin, 31, of Netanya, and Rachel Ben-Abu and Nofar Horowitz, both of them 16-year-old girls from Tel Aviv.
Anya Lipshitz' daughter, 26-year-old daughter Margarita Sobersky suffered serious burns and is being treated at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah, while Sobersky's three-year-old daughter Lial is being treated for burns at Schneider Medical Center in Petach Tikvah.
Forty of the 88 who were injured still are in hospitals, and two are in serious condition.
The 18-year-old suicide bomber from the Palestinian Authority (PA)-controlled city of Tulkarm, several miles east of Netanya, set off his suicide charge at about 6:30 p.m. at a pedestrian crossing opposite the mall.
Another attack miraculously was prevented when a suicide bomber prematurely blew up explosive gas balloons in his stolen truck after he entered the Samarian community of Shavei Shomron. The driver is being treated for injuries. He easily passed through the main gate in his truck, which had Israeli license plates, when he followed another vehicle which entered the community.
The Netanya suicide bombing was the second such attack in the five months following the Sharm el-Sheikh accords, which called on the PA to dismantle the terrorist structure and Israel to free Arab terrorists and prisoners and turn over to the PA five large Arab cities. The second city for which the PA took responsibility was Tulkarm, the home of the Netanya bomber.
The attack took place several blocks away from the Maccabiah sport games. Police estimate he set off his 10-kilogram (22-pound) suicide belt on the street after realizing he would not be able to get past guards at the mall, which previously has been attacked by a suicide bomber.
"I was only 10 meters from the entrance to the mall when I heard an explosion," said Arik Bochnik and his two daughters. "After that, there was absolute quiet as if the world stood still. We saw parts of bodies everywhere." The father began to look for his third child and found her among the injured.
One of the injured was a 22-year-old Ariel ben-Harush, a Canadian who is visiting his mother for three weeks and wants to move to Israel. "I am proud to be a Jew and what these people [terrorists] do to us is awful and never will leave me."
