[1] On April 17, 2006, Sami Salim Mohammed Hammed, a Palestinian student from Jenin, conducted a suicide attack using 5 kilograms (11 lb) of explosives in a bag filled with nails and metal shards at the Rosh Ha'ir" shawarma restaurant near the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.

[2][3] The Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the bomber as Sami Salim Hamad from near Jenin in northern West Bank.

According to the Guardian, an Islamic Jihad cell had conducted six of the seven previous suicide bombings in Israel since Palestinian groups had agreed to a ceasefire in February 2005.

[3] Islamic Jihad leader Elias Ashkar, who Israel accused of being behind the attack, was killed by Israeli troops in the village of Qabatiya, together with other four Palestinians, on 14 May 2006.
