His Father was Lynched in Ramallah; Today He Protects Israelis

Roey Avrahami was just five when his father was lynched on live television in Ramallah – but his memory stayed with him for life.

The son of an IDF soldier brutally lynched by Palestinian Arab terrorists in Ramallah fifteen years ago has enlisted to the Israel Police corps – and is determined to make his father’s story heard.

Reservists Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Nurzhitz lost their way to their base on October 12, 2000, ending up in the Palestinian Authority (PA) controlled city of Ramallah by mistake. PA police forces took the two into custody.

Word reached local PA residents that undercover Israeli agents were being held in the building; some 1000 rioters reportedly gathered outside. The IDF declined to take action to rescue the soldiers; they were eventually stormed by the rioters.

One terrorist, Aziz Salha, reached the soldiers first, where he brutally murdered them – stabbing, beating, and dismembering them along with other rioters. He famously then stuck his bloodstained hands out of the window of the room where the two were held, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

The crowd then dragged the bodies to a central square, beating them further before setting up a victory celebration. PA police forces did not attempt to intervene and in some cases, participated in the barbarism.

Finding the truth

Yossi’s son Roey Avrahami, 20, reflected to Walla! News on Sunday that his decision to join the Israel Police is the outcropping of learning the truth behind his father’s murder.

Students develop system based on guided nanoparticles that break apart the proteins in gluten remove them from the gastrointestinal tract • The treatment enables gluten-sensitive patients to eat foods containing gluten without damaging their health.
Students at the AMIT Bar-Ilan boys high school in Netanya, in cooperation with students from the Ulpanit Netanya girls school, have been awarded the Ness Technologies first prize this week for technological leadership development for inventing a groundbreaking development that may provide a solution to millions of celiac sufferers.

The group of students includes Roei Vaknin and Or Keinan from AMIT Bar-Ilan, alongside Ophir Cohen, Ortal Cabilio and Hodaya Mesika from Ulpanit Netanya.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a prolamin (gluten protein) found in wheat, barley and rye. The disorder interferes with absorption of nutrients from food and sufferers of the disease cannot tolerate any foods containing gluten.

As part of their science and technology studies, the students developed a treatment based on guided nanoparticles that break the proteins apart and remove them from the gastrointestinal tract. The treatment enables gluten-sensitive patients to eat foods containing gluten without damaging their health.

Experts who attended the conference said there was a technological and scientific feasibility to promoting the invention and that if it succeeds it could dramatically change the lives of tens of millions of celiac patients worldwide.

“We worked together in complete cooperation until we reached a solution,” student Or Keinan said.

The principal of AMIT Bar-Ilan, Rabbi Yuval Elimelech, congratulated the winners and said that “the group succeeded in combining personal excellence with values
