Global InformationDeath of Daniel Wultz information
Daniel Wultz was a Jewish-American teenager and one of 11 people killed in the 2006 Tel Aviv shawarma restaurant bombing at Rosh Ha'ir restaurant in Tel Aviv, Israel. Seventy others were injured. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. On April 17, 2006, around 1:30 pm, a Palestinian suicide bomber approached a crowded restaurant near the old Tel Aviv Central Bus Station. The suicide bomber blew himself up when the security guard stationed at the entrance to the restaurant asked him to open his bag for inspection.[1][2]
Wultz, 16, a resident of Weston, Florida, was visiting Israel with his family during the Passover holiday when he was caught in the attack. His father, Yekutiel "Tuly" Wultz, was also injured in the bombing. Despite massive wounds and loss of blood, Wultz lived for 27 days after the bombing. A global campaign began shortly after the attack, encouraging people to "Pray for Daniel."[3]
Wultz died on May 14, 2006, Mother's Day, in the United States.[4][5][6][7][8]
His body was returned to south Florida for burial and a funeral at the Weston Chabad synagogue where he was an active member.[9][10]
