Ofir Rachum, 16 years old, was very good with computers, he built a web site and was proud of it. He spent many hours in front of his computer, upgrading his site and chatting with people. There in the chat room he met a woman which invited him to meet.
On Wednesday, January 17th, 2001, Ofir said he is going to school but went on a youth adventure to meet the woman from the chat. They met in Jerusalem central station where he went into her car and she went toward Ramallah. When getting close to Ramallah, Ofir noticed he was in trouble and tried to escape, without success.
At the entrance to Ramallah they met with a group of local terroristst who shot ofir while he was still in the car.
