 The Ramallah lynch took place on October 12, 2000, when a mob of Palestinians murdered Vadim Norzich and Yossi Avrahami, and mutilated their bodies.

The lynch occurred at the start of the al-Aqsa Intifada and despite attempts by the Palestinian Authority to erase any documentation of the brutal murders, the horrific images reached every corner of the world and sent shockwaves across Israel. In June, security forces arrested Marwan Ibrahim Tawfik Maadi, 51, and Yasser Ibrahim Mohammed Khatab, 40. Indictments were filed in the case with the Judea Military Court on Sunday. Two months ago, the Shin Bet, IDF and Israel Police uncovered a large-scale Hamas operation in the Ramallah and Binyamin area. Having been convicted of involvement in the lynch, Abed el-Aziz Salha was released last October as part of the Shalit deal.Read the full story here.
