The law suit was launched by American victims of six attacks in Jerusalem more than a decade ago attributed to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Hamas.
Jurors found in favour of ten families who could now see their payout tripled under the US Anti-Terrorism Act.
Victims and their families had requested more than $350 million over shootings and bombings from 2002 to 2004 that killed 33 people and injured over 450.
The case is likely to be appealed.
