Today marks 31 years since the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin, who served as Israel's fifth prime minister in two separate terms, was shot and killed by a far-right activist on November 4, 1995, shortly after attending a peace rally at Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv. This was reported this morning by the Jerusalem Post and JNS. Further details regarding this year's planned memorial ceremonies have not yet been released.
