The Kfar Darom bus attack was a 1995 suicide attack on an Israeli bus carrying civilians and soldiers to Kfar Darom, an Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip.[1] The attack killed seven Israeli soldiers and one American civilian.[1] The Shaqaqi faction of the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing.[2] A United States Federal district judge ruled that the Iranian Government had provided financial aid to the group that carried out the attack and were therefore responsible for the murder of the U.S. citizen.[3] The court ordered the Government of Iran to pay the victim's family $247.5 million in damages.[3]
