On November 4, 1995 (the twelfth day of the ninth lunar month), Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.

Leaders and representatives of more than 80 countries attended Rabin's funeral

Saturday, November 4, 1995, coincided with the Jewish Sabbath, which is also an official holiday in Israel. In normal times, most of Israel's transportation stops, and many entertainment venues and shops close their doors. However, Tel Aviv was brightly lit and lively after nightfall. About 100,000 citizens bask in the sea breeze and flock from all directions to King's Square in the heart of the city, where a grand rally in support of the peace process is held.

In the face of the thunderous sea of people, the surging colored balls and banners, Rabin stood on the rostrum, looking particularly excited. He smiled with relief when he saw so many people enthusiastically supporting the peace process, and waved to the crowd from time to time.

The rally, organized by the General Committee in Support of Peace Talks to End the Israeli-Arab Dispute, was the largest public rally in Tel Aviv in more than 10 years, with the theme: "Peace, not violence." Prime Minister Rabin, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and many Israeli dignitaries were invited to attend the rally, and a number of well-known actors took the stage to join in the fun, holding microphones and singing peace carols between Rabin and Peres. After the rally officially began, Rabin made an impassioned speech determined to continue the Middle East peace process. He said that only peace can solve the problems facing Israel. Now more than ever, there is a chance for peace, and such a grand rally shows that the Israeli people want peace. At 7:50 p.m. local time, after Rabin's speech, he walked off the rostrum surrounded by everyone and prepared to leave the square by car. Rabin shook hands with the people on either side as he walked. As he approached the sedan and was about to step into the car with his legs raised, a young Jew suddenly burst out of the crowd, pulled out a pistol and shot Rabin several times from behind, almost against his body. Rabin, who was in his seventies, was stunned by the gunshot, and then threw himself on the ground, red blood staining his clothes. Two bodyguards rushed to pick Rabin up, and the ambulance rushed the unconscious Rabin to the nearby Ichlov Hospital for resuscitation. Rabin was on his way to the hospital when the driver heard him muttering, "It's not scary, it's not scary." Then he hung his head. In the hospital emergency room, doctors did everything they could to save Rabin's life, but he eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his heart stopped beating just 19 minutes after he was admitted to the hospital. Upon examination, Rabin was shot three times, one in the abdomen and the other fatally in the chest. Rabin was the first political leader to be murdered after the establishment of the State of Israel.

Rabin, 73, was born in Jerusalem on March 1, 1922, and grew up in a left-wing Zionist aristocratic family. As a student, he spent time at the Israeli Agricultural Technical School and the University of Miami in the United States, where he wanted to become an agricultural expert, but the sound of the guns of the Second World War shattered his dreams and led him to fight fascism in Syria. He joined the army at the age of 19, and because of his courage and skill, Rabin quickly grew from an ordinary soldier to a "General Rabin" with great achievements. He was the famous Harrell Brigade Commander during the First Middle East War in May 1948 and was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Three Services in 1964. When the Third CRRC War broke out in 1967, he was the main organizer and commander of the Israeli army, capturing 65,000 square kilometers of Arab land in six days, becoming a hero of Israel's generation.

His 27-year military career has made Rabin develop a straightforward, decisive and pragmatic character. He was twice Labour Leader and Prime Minister in 1974 and 1992. Perhaps because he had experienced a lot of wars and realized the preciousness of peace, he had been busy with Arab-Israeli reconciliation since his retirement in 1968, and he did not agree with the policy of "not giving up an inch of land" to the Arabs, but advocated "land for peace". On September 17, 1993, UNESCO awarded Rabin the Boigny Peace Prize. Rabin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 and his efforts to advance the Middle East peace process were widely welcomed.

After the killer opened fire, the scene was chaotic. Rabin's security guards also fired several shots in a panic, and one of his bodyguards was wounded. The killer with short black hair was caught red-handed, and the security guards pushed him into a car and formed a human wall to surround the car to prevent the killer from being killed. The police initially identified the 27-year-old assailant as Ijar Amir, who had been involved in the campaign to "illegally expand settlements" in the West Bank and was now studying at a university's law department. Amir confessed to the crime, saying that his actions were "entirely voluntary" and in accordance with "the will of God", and that he therefore had "no regret or regret" for the crime committed. He had previously attempted to assassinate Rabin twice, but was unable to do so due to tight security measures. After Rabin's assassination, anonymous phone calls were made to Israeli radio, claiming responsibility for the incident by a group called the Jewish Reventionist Organization and accusing Rabin of "betraying the Jewish Bible and betraying the people of Israel" for his reconciliation with the Palestinians.

Since Rabin and Arafat had a historic handshake, extremists from both sides have repeatedly threatened Rabin with death, but Rabin, who is a soldier, is undaunted and stresses that the success of the peace effort will thwart the conspiracy of these extremists. The sad news of Rabin's assassination strongly shocked the whole of Israel and shocked the world. Rabin was killed at a critical moment when Israel was heading for its quadrennial elections and the country was facing fierce partisan struggles, and at a critical moment when Palestinian-Israeli peace had just expanded into the West Bank. His death undoubtedly caused the vast majority of Israelis to feel very sudden and sad. That night, when the news of Rabin's murder was announced, hundreds of ordinary Tel Aviv citizens waiting outside the Ichlov hospital could not help but weep bitterly, and many spontaneously lit candles in the streets to mourn Rabin's death. At the emergency meeting of the Israeli Cabinet held that night, some of the cabinet members who had been with Rabin day and night were in tears, and they covered the chair where Rabin often sat in chairs with black veils to express their endless sorrow. Some opposition figures also believe that Rabin's killing was the darkest day in Israel's history.

Amir fired several shots before being arrested by the police. After putting on the handcuffs, he smiled happily, and he recognized himself as having fulfilled his "mission to defend the Jews"

President Yasser Arafat of the State of Palestine, Israeli Prime Minister Bhatzhak Rabin, and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres were both awarded the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize
