A Palestinian suicide bombing occurred in the Beit Yisrael neighborhood in downtown Jerusalem on 2 March 2002. Eleven Israeli civilians were killed in the attack, including two infants, three children and two teenagers. Over 50 people were injured in the attack, four of them critically. The bombing took place at the entrance of the Haredi yeshiva "Beit Yisrael" in central Jerusalem where people had gathered for a bar mitzvah celebration. The suicide bomber detonated the bomb full of shrapnel alongside a group of women with their baby strollers, waiting for the services in a nearby synagogue to conclude. The Palestinian militant organization al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
A Palestinian suicide bombing at a Jerusalem yeshiva during a bar mitzvah gathering in 2002 killed eleven Israeli civilians, including two infants and three children. Through 2020 the opening and the article's own title called it "the Yeshivat Beit Yisrael massacre," carried out by "the Palestinian Islamist militant organization al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades." Today the word massacre is nowhere in the article, the event is titled a bombing, and the perpetrating group is described only as a Palestinian militant organization, without Islamist. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia once called this an eleven-victim massacre or that it once named the responsible group Islamist.
