Yafit Ravivo

Nov 21, 2002 - Yafit Ravivo, 14, of Jerusalem, was one of 11 people killed in a suicide bombing on a No. 20 Egged bus in the Kiryat Menahem neighborhood of Jerusalem.

The bomber, wearing a five-kilogram bomb belt packed with explosives and shrapnel, boarded the bus at approximately 7:00 A.M. on Mexico street in Kiryat Menahem. Before it reached the next stop, the terrorist, who was standing in the front section of the bus, set off the bomb, killing 11 people and wounding about 50.

Every morning Yafit took the No. 20 bus to Beit Hinuch, the religious school in Kiryat Moshe, where she attended the ninth grade. According to neighbors, Yafit was the quiet middle daughter of three. Her cousin, Liron Rabi, related that though she was very modest, Yafit would visit with autistic children and always tried to help.

Yafit Ravivo was buried in the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem. She is survived by her mother, Rachel, and her two sisters, Oshrit and Orit.
