On 12 October 2000, two IDF reservists dressed in civilian clothes, Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Nurzhitz, took a wrong turn and ended up in Ramallah. They were then detained by Palestinian Authority policemen and taken to a local police station. A rumor spread quickly regarding the capture of two Israelis, with a mob forming under the building. While some of the policemen abandoned the building, others participated with the mob in the barbaric lynching. The lifeless bodies were dumped from the window and the mob continued to abuse the corpses in the street.
