Aziz Salha became notorious after he was pictured waving his blood-stained hands out of a window when two soldiers were murdered in 2000.
They were being held at el-Bireh police station after accidentally entering the city controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Rumours that Israeli undercover agents were being held at the site sparked a furious 1,000-strong crowd to gather outside, calling for their deaths.The reservists were beaten and stabbed - and Salha appeared at the window with hands covered in blood, prompting cheers from the crowd.HORROR KILLINGThe vicious killings sent shockwaves across the world - and prompted Israel to launch a series of strikes against Palestinian Authority targets in the West Bank.
Several Palestinian cities were sealed off by Israeli forces, with rockets fired at two police stations in Ramallah.Salha was freed from prison and forcibly sent to Gaza under the 2011 prisoner swap agreement between Hamas and the Israeli government. Now, almost 24 years on from the lynchings, Salha has been killed in a strike on Deir al-Balah in Gaza.Salha's death comes two years after another perpetrator, Nasser Abu Hamid - founder of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade - died from cancer.
