Elena Nalimov, 18, and Yulia Nalimov, 16, Tel Aviv Sisters Elena and Yulia Nalimov immigrated to Israel in 1996. Elena was just about to graduate from Shevah Mofet High School and Yulia was a student at Miftan Allon high school. Both loved to go to the clubs and listen to trance and dance music. On Thursday night, Elena, the older of the two sisters, had a puzzling dream:In her dream, she told her friends, she saw herself dressed in a white bridal gown, but there was no groom standing beside her. Her sister, Yulia, woke up on Friday morning and, as usual, immediately put on a trance music disk. Afterwards, she waited for her schoolmate Yasmin. When she arrived, they went to school together. On the way, Yulia tried to convince Yasmin to come with her that evening to the Dolphy disco, but Yasmin said she did not like discotheques. Elena did not go to school that day. She took advantage of a free day off – in the middle of the matriculation exams – to rest. She waited all day to go out in the evening to the discotheque and unwind from the tension of the exams. The two lovely sisters, who had gone out together, died together at the hands of a Palestinian terrorist who came to kill Israeli teenagers.    Genia (Yevgenia) Keren Dorfman, 15, Bat Yam Genia immigrated to Israel with her mother in 1994 from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She studied in an arts school, where she loved music and dance. Genia’s mother, who raised her alone, had difficulty making up her mind whether to come to Israel because her life in Uzbekistan had been quite comfORTable. Ultimately, she decided to move to Israel because she wanted to give Genia a better future. In Israel, her mother – who was a lecturer in art in Tashkent – had to make a living by taking menial jobs. Genia was critically wounded in the terrorist attack, and died of her wounds three weeks later. The day after her death, her mother found in Genia’s room a list of friends she planned to invite to her 16th birthday party.    Ofir Rahum, 16 A Fatah activist made contact with Israeli teenager, Ofir Rahum,16, from Ashkelon,over the Internet. She introduced herself as “Sally,”a Jewish tourist from Morocco, and lured him to join her on a trip to Jerusalem, during which he was murdered. Mona Jaud Awana, 23, was a member of the Shabiba youth organization of the Fatah, the student branch of the Fatah’s Tanzim organization. Mona told her friends in the Tanzim about the mail correspondence she had with Ofir, a good-looking and intelligent youth. The Tanzim members instructed her to maintain the contact and to lure the youth to Ramallah. Ofir’s friends relate that Ofir and Mona spoke often on the telephone,and that “Sally” had invited him repeatedly to come to see her in Jerusalem. On Tuesday, one day before the murder, she called Ofir’s mobile phone to finalize the details of their meeting. A friend of Ofir’s happened to be present during the phone call. "She told him to meet her at the central bus station in Jerusalem and that from there she would take him by car to a girlfriend’s house. Afterwards, she said, she would drop him off at the station. He was enthusiastic about the idea." On Wednesday morning, January 19, 2001, Ofir set out from home, but instead of going to school, got on a Jerusalem-bound bus. After their meeting, Mona Awana stopped her car at a prearranged rendezvous point. Her partner, Tanzim member Hassan Al-Kadi, approached the car armed with a loaded Kalashnikov rifle. Al-Kadi ordered Ofir to get out of the car, with his hands in the air. Ofir refused and grabbed the steering wheel, screaming for help. Al-Kadi shot him in the head, but Ofir continued to cling on to the steering wheel, screaming even louder. Al-Kadi shot him again, this time killing him. Mona, who was later arrested by the Israeli police, said she decided the day the Palestinians carried out the lynching of two Israelis soldiers in Ramallah in late 2000 to abduct an Israeli and execute him. Mona had been present at the Ramallah lynching, and said she was “excited” by what she saw. Soon after, Mona started to make contact with Israelis on the Internet. After her first potential victim refused to accompany her to Ramallah, she made contact with Ofir. After she was indicted for her part in the murder, she declared: “I am proud of what I have done.”    1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8  9 10 11  12 13 14  15
