Nov 2, 2000 - Lawyer Hanan Levy, 33, was killed in a car bomb explosion near the Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

The terrorist attack was carried out using a stolen Mazda, loaded with 10 kilos of explosives and nails, which was parked in Shomron Street, a side street of the Jerusalem market.

Hanan Levy was killed while returning to his office from the restaurant at which he normally ate lunch. His partner, Yossi Richter, described him as "an amicable person, an outstanding lawyer, a very generous and kind human being, and a polite man who had no enemies."

Ayelet Hashahar Levy was also killed in the attack, in which 10 were injured.

Hannan was born and educated in Jerusalem. He studied at the Gimnasia High School in Rehavia, and the deputy headmistress described him as an excellent pupil, with a sense of humor and theatrical talent. Levy served as an investigator in the Army Police, after which he studied law at Hebrew University.

He leaves behind his parents, Esther and Aharon, and his sister Tali.
