1. On April 10th 1979 , Palestinian terrorists had detonated an IED that was placed in the central part of Shuk (market) HaCarmel in central #TelAviv 
The attack occurred near a fish vendor ,approximately at 12:15 (PM) , as the market was bustling with activity , with many locals and tourists alike shopping for the upcoming Passover Seder.
Ellah Asoulin which was moderately wounded in the lower part of her body will recall : “I was shopping for Pesach , I decided to buy some fish to do for the holiday Seder and went to a fish vendor. We talked , I chose the fish I wanted and payed him…”
“… I was waiting for him to give me the change, when all of the sudden I saw a flash and everything exploded. I felt a very sharp pain in my back but managed to stay on my feet. I looked behind me and I saw a scene of carnage , women and children lying ,gored , crying…”
“… a terrible sight to see. A man came up to me and said to me that I was bleeding. I noticed that my blue dress was stained with blood. I don’t remember much afterwards.”
Shlomo Tzvi (27) from Hertzliya was murdered and 34 people were wounded , mostly whole families, including 4 small children that were seriously wounded.

The explosion was so strong that it completely destroyed the interior of the bus blew off its roof, and blew away many victims from inside the bus to outside towards oncoming traffic.
The driver of the bus, Yehoshua Ekset, who was hospitalized at Rambam Hospital in moderate condition, will later recall that apparently the terrorist was wearing an IDF uniform, so he did not immediately suspected him, like it happened many times before.
He also recalled : “There was a loud explosion sound and the rare view window shattered on me. I was very confused and thought for some reason that it was a tire explosion. I stopped the bus looked behind me and almost fainted , I saw multiple mutilated bodies …”
“… I still could not comprehend what terrible disaster happened to me . I saw 2 policemen running towards me and tried to get up but felt a sharp pain in my lower back and fell down the stairs…”
“… They (policemen) got me outside and told me to stay put. Then I saw the bus and understood that it was an attack. I saw that the road was littered with human remains , wounded and bodies. It was the worst day of my life”
