Massacre sparks outrage Israel-Gaza violence deepens Israeli forces kill 16 in Gaza Passover massacre kills 17

Jerusalem - The Israeli military says it has caught the Hamas mastermind of the deadliest suicide bombing of the Palestinian uprising.

Omar Jabar had been on the run since the March 2002 bombing at a hotel in the Israeli city of Netanya.

In the attack, the bomber blew himself up during a dinner celebrating the Jewish holiday of Passover.

Thirty people were killed and nearly 150 were wounded. The attack became known as the "Passover Massacre" and sparked a large Israeli military operation in the West Bank.

The army says Jabar planned the attack and dispatched the bomber to the hotel. It says Jabar was arrested early on Wednesday in the West Bank.
