Shoshana Magmari

May 7, 2002 - Shoshana Magmari, 51, of Tel-Aviv was one of 15 people killed when a suicide bomber detonated a powerful charge in a game club located on the 3rd floor of a building in Rishon Lezion, causing part of the building to collapse. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.

At about 11:00 PM, the terrorist entered the unlicensed Sheffield Club with a suitcase of explosives, spiked with shrapnels and nails to cause maximum injury. The patrons were trying their luck at slot machines, card games or snooker. 15 were killed, and 55 wounded in the blast.

Shoshana Magmari, who cared for children, had been on leave while receiving treatment for cancer. After overcoming the cancer just a month ago, she went out to celebrate with friends to the Sheffield Club, where she was killed.

Shoshana Magmari was buried in the Yarkon cemetery in Tel-Aviv. She is survived by her husband Shlomo, a son (28) and two daughters (27 and 24), and five grandchildren.
