The bragging about, cheerfully waving with blooded hand, body thrown unto cheering clapping crowd, the stepping on the bodies, mutilation, waving internal organs with screams<ref name=walla/> - exposed animalism.

 

The two rambled into the city of Ramallah, were apprehended by Palestinian police, and taken to a police station.  The policemen allowed the crowd to enter the police station, where the crowd, as well as more than a dozen policemen, used severe violence against them, which included beatings to death with batons and iron rods, and stabbed them several times.

 

The news of the Israelis' presence at the police station soon spread, and hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the police yard equipped with sticks and blocks and encouraged the abusers with calls to kill the soldiers.  The enthusiastic crowd set fire to the .. car and demanded that they be taken over.  Norzic was thrown upside down through the window on the second floor (about 8 meters high), and Avrahami through the door, into the hands of the angry mob, who uprooted their eyes, stabbed, trampled and beat them.  At about 10:30 a.m., the Palestinian mob dragged the soldiers down Al-Manara Square in the heart of Ramallah and continued abusing and retaliating against them. Nordic was set on fire, and the rioters ripped off their internal organs and waved them in triumph.

 

One of the well-known lynching pictures is a picture of 'Abd al-'Aziz Salha showing his blood-stained hands to the crowd:

This terrorist was apprehended in 2001, partially confessed to lynching, convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but was released about ten years later in the [Gilad] Shalit deal.</blockquote></ref>

When they arrived at the police station at 10:15 a.m., they were led to the commander's office on the second floor.  At that time a lot of Palestinians tried to murder the soldiers while they were inside the station, but the police ordered the crowd to wait outside the station gate until they took the soldiers out of the station and then gave them to them to kill them.  However, within moments one of the policemen opened the doors of the office for them, and many Palestinians filled the station and the office. Despite their pleas and cries, the crowd and more than a dozen policemen used severe violence against them and beat them with batons, iron bars and blunt objects, and stabbed them several times.
