Suicide bomber Saeed Hotari was standing in line on a Friday night in front russian club tel aviv the Dolphinarium, when the area was packed with teenagers. Most of the crowd were young people from Russian-speaking families from the former Soviet Union, who were waiting for admission to a dance party at the Dolphin disco, and others were in line to enter the adjacent nightclub. The suicide bombing followed a failed attack attempt on the same target five months earlier. Both Islamic Jihad and a group calling itself “Hezbollah-Palestine” originally claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing, only to later retract the claims.

Israeli officials called the attack a “massacre”. President of the Palestinian Authority Yasser Arafat condemned the attack and called for a cease-fire. The Kuwaiti Foreign Minister and acting Premier Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah stated that he does not support Palestinian suicide bombings against civilians. Bush stated that he condemns the attack in the strongest terms and that “There is no justification for senseless attacks against innocent civilians.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon decided to not take any immediate retaliatory actions. US and other governments applied heavy diplomatic pressure on Israel to refrain from action. In Ramallah dozens of Palestinians celebrated in the streets and fired in the air as a sign of celebration. The bomber, Saeed Hotari, was praised as a martyr by his father. Since the bombing, the Dolphinarium discotheque sat abandoned on the Tel Aviv beachfront, covered with graffiti until its demolition in May 2018.
