2004 Ashdod Port bombings
The 2004 Ashdod port bombings were a series of terrorist attacks that occurred on April 14, 2004, in the Israeli port city of Ashdod, targeting the international container terminal. The incidents involved two suicide bombings carried out by militants from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, aiming to disrupt Israeli maritime trade. The attacks resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of ten people and injuries to over twenty others. The bombings were part of a broader pattern of violence during the Second Intifada, which had profound regional implications. The involvement of Indian nationals among the victims heightened diplomatic discussions between India and Israel regarding security cooperation and counter-terrorism efforts in the region.
