The 2nd Rosh Ha'ir restaurant bombing was a Palestinian suicide bombing on 17 April 2006 at Rosh Ha'ir shawarma restaurant in Tel Aviv, Israel. Eleven Israeli civilians were killed in the attack and 70 were injured, in the deadliest attack in Israel in nearly two years.

The Palestinian militant organization Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the terror attack, the seventh suicide bombing in Israel since Palestinian groups had agreed to a ceasefire in February 2005.

The attack was the second suicide bombing at the Rosh Ha’ir restaurant in 2006. The previous attack, on 19 January 2006, injured 31 people.[1]
