On August 19, 2003, Palestinian militant Raed Abdel Hamid Misk, sent by the Hamas cell in Hebron, dressed as a Haredi Jew, boarded a crowded bus with Orthodox Jewish children returning from the Western Wall, and conducted a suicide bombing in the Shmuel HaNavi quarter in Jerusalem. Twenty-three civilians and 1 unborn child were killed, and over 130 were wounded. Many of the victims were children, some of them infants.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
A 2003 Palestinian suicide bombing of a crowded Jerusalem bus that killed dozens, many of them children, and was claimed by Hamas. The 2005 opening named it "The Jerusalem bus 2 massacre," a suicide bombing that "killed 23 people and wounded over 130." Today the opening drops that name entirely and calls it a Palestinian suicide bombing that killed 24; the word massacre appears nowhere in the article now. A reader today learns the death toll and that Hamas claimed responsibility, and not that Wikipedia once named the attack a massacre.
