The Maxim restaurant bombing was a Palestinian suicide bombing which occurred on October 4, 2003, in the beachfront restaurant Maxim in Haifa, Israel. Twenty-one civilians were killed and 60 were injured. Among the victims were two families and four children, including a two-month-old baby. The restaurant was frequented by both Arab and Jewish customers and was widely seen as a symbol of peaceful coexistence. The militant organization Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. It was condemned by Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. The restaurant's interior was destroyed by the blast and was completely rebuilt seven months after the attack.

Twenty-one civilians were killed and sixty injured, including two families and a two-month-old baby, in the 2003 bombing of the Maxim restaurant in Haifa. Through 2005 the opening called it the massacre committed in the Arab-Jewish Maxim restaurant. Today the opening calls it a "Palestinian suicide bombing," and massacre is nowhere in the article. A reader today learns twenty-one people were killed in a suicide bombing, and not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it a massacre.
