killing nine students
Not all nine people killed in the 2002 Hebrew University bombing were students. Hebrew University’s own memorial identifies multiple victims as university staff members and one as a Foreign Ministry cadet completing a master’s assignment.
Full reasoning
Hebrew University’s official memorial page for the July 31, 2002 bombing says the cafeteria was crowded with "staff and students" and that nine people were killed. It then lists the victims and identifies several of them as employees rather than students:
- Revital Barashi worked at the Hebrew University's Law Faculty.
- Janis Ruth Coulter was assistant director in the Rothberg International School's Office of Academic Affairs.
- Levina Shapira was head of the student services department.
- Dafna Spruch had long worked on the university's Student Administration staff.
- Dina Carter worked as a librarian and archivist.
- David (Diego) Ladowski was a Foreign Ministry cadet/diplomat who was at the university to submit the final assignment for his master's studies.
A contemporaneous Jewish Telegraphic Agency report also describes victims including Janis Ruth Coulter as an admissions official, Dina Carter as a librarian/archivist, and David Diego Ladowski as a consular cadet.
So the bombing did not kill nine students; it killed a mix of students and non-student staff/affiliates.
