Eliahu Na-aman

July 4, 2001 - Eliahu Na'aman, 32, of Petah Tikva, was shot at point-blank range just inside the Green Line at Sueika, near Tulkarem.

Na'aman was known to be involved in selling stolen cars and car parts to Palestinian dealers in Sueika, a village where cars stolen in Israel were processed for re-sale as replacement auto parts. On July 4, he arrived in the area, and was killed by shots fired from a passing car.

Sharon District police spokesman Yigal Avraham said that Na'aman was known to police and had dealings with criminals in the PA areas in the past. However he stressed that police had not ruled out the possibility that Na'aman had been the victim of a terrorist attack.

Eliahu Na'aman was disabled following an attempt on his life in September 1997. He was married and the father of three.
