Twelve years after, new technology enables
viewers to get a clear view of what
transpired on Nov. 4th, 1995: The three
bullets that changed history
"On November 4th, 1995, the prime minister
was murdered." This was the headline we awoke
to, as if to a nightmare. The three bullets
fired at the prime minister during the peace
rally changed the face of Israel forever.
Each of us harbors that moment within us, the
moment we heard of the murder at the square.
Twelve years on, the enhanced video now
clearly shows the moments of the murder.
It was 9:40 pm, and the security personnel
accompanied the participants of the peace
rally down the back stairs of the
municipality building on the way to the prime
minister's car. At first, Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres descended the staircase waving
to the crowd with a smile. The prime minister
descended next, with an assured step.
Suddenly out of the darkness the image
appeared. The door of the prime minister's
car had already been opened. Rabin approached
the back seat; the first shot was sounded,
then another and another.
Yitzhak Rabin's last steps were captured by
the lens of Ronny Kempler's camera. Now,
thanks to new technology, for the first time
viewers can see exactly what happened at the
square on that night: The unbearable ease in
which the prime minister was murdered from
point-blank range.
