2004 Erez Crossing bombing

The Erez Crossing bombing, which occurred on 15 March 2004, refers to a terrorist attack targeting the Erez Crossing checkpoint between Israel and the Gaza Strip. While the incident primarily took place in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its significance resonates within India due to its implications for international terrorism and security policies. The attack was orchestrated by Palestinian militants and involved a suicide bomber detonating explosives at the busy border crossing, resulting in multiple casualties, including civilians and Israeli security personnel. The bombing intensified discussions regarding regional stability and security cooperation, influencing India's stance on counter-terrorism and fostering diplomatic dialogue concerning Middle Eastern affairs.
