The 2001 Hasharon Mall suicide bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on March 4, 2001, in the Hasharon Mall in the town of Netanya, Israel. Orchestrated by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas, the attack resulted in the deaths of three Israeli civilians and injured dozens more. The incident marked a significant escalation in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and drew widespread condemnation from the international community.
