The death toll in Wednesday's suicide bombing on bus in central Haifa rose
to 16 on Saturday when one of the wounded succumbed to the wounds he
sustained in the attack.
The family of the 20-year-old Haifa resident have asked for his name to be
withheld. (Click here for the names of the victims of the attack.)
On Friday, the military wing of Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack,
saying it was in retaliation for Israel's actions in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.
