About 100,000 people had gathered at Kings of Israel Square to support the Oslo Accords. As Rabin walked to his car, Yigal Amir, a far-right law student who opposed the peace process, shot him in the back. Rabin died in hospital later that night.
Rabin had shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat. The square was later renamed Rabin Square, and Amir is serving a life sentence.
