Another Victim of Suicide Bombings in Israel Dies; Toll at 17
An Israeli man wounded in the July 30 double suicide bombing in Jerusalem died Saturday, bringing the death toll in the attack to 17, including the two bombers.
A spokesman for Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital identified the victim as Ilia Gazruch, 73.
“He was brought to the hospital unconscious and transferred to the intensive care unit, where he remained until this morning, when he died,” spokesman Yossi Shoval said.
The bombings in a Jerusalem market deepened a crisis between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the peace process.
The bombers have not been identified, but Israel has blamed the militant Islamic group Hamas for the attack.
