The attack in the Arim mall is a suicide attack that was carried out on November 4, 2002 in the Arim mall in Kfar Saba. In the attack, two Israelis were killed and about 70 were injured.

The Attack
An attempted suicide bomber attempted to infiltrate the Arim Mall in Kfar Saba on Monday at 18:10. Security was increased at the location as a result of the warnings regarding an assault. There were 24 security officers on duty at the time to protect the mall, which is open and has several entrances. The terrorist trying to enter the mall's center was identified by one of the security personnel stationed near one of the entrances. He shouted a caution to visitors as he quickly approached him. The terrorist set off the explosives as soon as he got close to him. Two people were murdered in the explosion: Julio Magram, a security guard, and Gaston, a 15-year-old young immigrant from Argentina and high school student in Ra'anana.

The security guard's mother and partner got a certificate of gratitude from the Kfar Saba police and the town's mayor, Yitzhak Veld, around two weeks after the incident in recognition of his efforts in stopping the terrorist, which saved many lives.

The attack's prepetrators
Following the attack, the Islamic Jihad organization claimed responsibility and identified the terrorist as 18-year-old Nabil Sawalha from the Balata refugee camp in the Nablus region.
