An Israeli advocacy group won a $323 million judgment in a US court against Iran and Syria for supporting Palestinian militants that killed an American teenager and ten others in a 2006 bombing. The Shurat Hadin Israel Law Center was representing the family of 16-year-old Daniel Wultz of Florida, who was among 11 killed when an Islamic Jihad suicide bomber set off his explosives at a Tel Aviv restaurant six years ago. The judgement said that Iran supports the Islamic Jihad movement financially while Syria had granted the group a haven to train in its territory. It is the first time an American court is holding the government of Syria accountable for its support of terrorism.
