As the news of the multiple suicide attacks in Jerusalem and Haifa, Israel reached campus yesterday, members of the Penn community once again came together in anger and in mourning.
For some, the bombings struck a deeply personal note. Jen Bolson, a college junior, spent a semester in Israel four years ago, and has been receiving e-mails from friends still in the country reassuring her of their safety.
"When I was in Israel I hung out every night in Ben Yehuda and it is hard to imagine that they bombed the place where I used to sit.," Bolson said.
Yesterday afternoon 16 people were killed and 35 more injured when a suicide bomber detonated a device on board a bus in Haifa. And Jerusalem was rocked by three separate explosions, two detonated in suicide attacks, which killed 12 people and injured close to 180 others.
