Hannah Nachenberg was 31 years old when she was injured in a suicide bombing on 9 August 2001. The attack killed 15 people (including 8 children) and injured more than 120 others at the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem.

Hannah's sister spoke of Hannah's daughter, who was with her on the day of the attack. Aged three, she had been miraculously spared. In 2017, Jordan refused to extradite a Jordanian woman accused of involvement in the attack and on the FBI's "most wanted terrorists" list.
