Matzuva Attack

The Matzuva attack was an attack on March 12, 2002, in which two Islamic Jihad militants who infiltrated Israel from Lebanon opened fire on civilian vehicles traveling on the Shlomi-Matzuva road. Six Israeli civilians were killed in the attack and one injured.

The victims included a woman and a girl from Kibbutz Hanita, Lynn Livne and her daughter Atara.

Initially, Israeli intelligence officials believed that the attack was organized by Hezbollah, although Hezbollah did not confirm this.
