On Thursday morning, the Israeli military radio station announced the death of Aziz Salha, who was killed by a missile strike in central Gaza. Salha was photographed in 2000 with blood on his hands from the lynching of two reservists.
Salha became known after a photo of him was taken from the windows of a police station in Ramallah, in which he appeared to show his hands stained with the blood of the IDF reservists, Vadim Norzikh and Yosef Avrahami.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the two reservists had mistakenly entered Ramallah when they were spotted and arrested. After their arrest, they were taken to a station near the PLO headquarters.
Rumors that authorities were holding two secret Israeli officials quickly circulated, and soon 1,000 people gathered outside the station demanding their deaths.
It became known that the mob beat and stabbed the two reservists to death.
It is noted that in December 2022, another identified perpetrator of the murder of the reservists, Nasser Abu Hamid, passed away from cancer. He had founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade of Fatah.
