May 17, 2003 - Dina (Muriel) Levy, 37, and her husband Gadi, of Kiryat Arba were killed by a suicide bomber in Hebron.

Gadi and Dina Levy were walking near Gross Square in Hebron at about 19:20 on Saturday evening when a suicide bomber wearing a white shirt like that of a yeshiva student came from the direction of the Abu Sneineh neighborhood. Nahal Brigade soldiers at a nearby position who were alerted by his behavior called out to him to stop. The bomber ignored their calls and detonated the bomb near the first people he encountered - the Levys.

Gadi died at the scene. Dina died shortly after arriving at Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem. The terrorist, who was killed in the explosion, was identified as Fuad al-Kawasma, a member of Hamas.

Gadi and Dina Levy were married about 18 months ago and settled in Kiryat Arba. This was Gadi's third marriage and Dina's second. Although Dina had two children from her previous marriage, they dreamt of having a child together.

Dina Levy was buried in Jerusalem. She is survived by her two children, aged 10 and 11.
