How Israel killed most wanted terrorist with a phone call in 1996

On October 19, 1994, a red-and-white bus on Tel Aviv’s Route No. 5 approached a stop on Dizengoff Street, which even then was known for its cafes, bars and shopping. In one of its aisle seats on the left side sat a slim, fair-skinned and round-faced man named Saleh Abdel Rahim al-Souwi.
“He looked harmless, but behind his placid manner lay rage and a thirst for revenge,” writes Samuel M Katz in his 1999 book The Hunt for the Engineer. Israeli forces had killed Saleh’s younger brother Hasin in 1989.
