On November 30, 1947, an Egged bus on its way to Jerusalem from Netanya was attacked by Arab militants, followed by an attack on another bus, killing seven Jews. It was the first attack in the 1947–1948 civil war in Mandatory Palestine following the UN's adoption of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, which took place the day before.[1] There is a dispute as to its motives.
