Eliahu Cohen
Dec 21, 2000 - Eliahu Cohen, 29, of Modi'in was shot and killed tonight by Palestinian terrorists waiting in ambush on the road between Givat Ze'ev and Beit Horon.
Eli Cohen was born in Jerusalem. He lived until recently with his wife and four-month old son, Noam, in the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem, when they moved to a new apartment in Modi'in. He continued to work as a driving instructor in Jerusalem, and was on his way home to Modi'in when his car was sprayed with automatic gunfire as he drove past Givat Ze'ev shortly before 8:30 P.M. The gunmen had been hiding at the roadside when they ambushed his car, and later fled on foot towards Ramallah.
The Magen David Adom medic who treated him said, "He had four or five gunshot wounds to the chest. We attempted to resuscitate him for 10 minutes and then he was pronounced dead."
His widow, Rotem, related: "He was in favor of peace and he grieved for the children who were orphaned as a result of the terrorist attacks."
Eliahu Cohen was buried in Jerusalem's Har Hamenuhot cemetery.
