On Thursday, August 5, 1993, the 20-year-old private Yaron Chen, who was on his way home from a military base, was hitchhiking at the Rama intersection near East Jerusalem. Chen was picked up by a white Fiat van with an Israeli license plate.[1] Another soldier reported seeing Chen struggling with three Palestinians who drove a white Fiat car.[2]
Chen was shot dead shortly afterwards while struggling with his abductors.[3][4]
Hamas publicized its abduction and killing of Chen.[5] Chen's body was found before dawn in the burnt-out charred white Fiat van in the village of Beitunia in the West Bank.[1]
Conviction of assailant; release in Shalit exchangeedit
