  Memorial for Helena Rapp
A young girl, Helena Rapp, 14, was murdered by an Arab terrorist outside her home in Bat Yam. This sparked off widespread violent riots in the town, just south of Tel Aviv.
When Ariel Sharon came to speak in the town on an election campaign, he was booed. The Likud government fell and Rabin came in.
