Nisan Dolinger

May 12, 2002 - Nisan Dolinger, 43, of Pe'at Sadeh in the southern Gaza Strip was shot and killed by a Palestinian laborer.

Shortly after noon, Nisan came to pick up the laborer at a checkpoint near Rafah. As he entered the car, the laborer, who had worked for Nisan for some time, pulled out a revolver and shot him several times at point-blank range. The assailant was apprehended by IDF forces at the nearby roadblock.

Nisan Dolinger was one of the founding members of Pe'at Sadeh, a farming community in Gush Katif established in 1988. His wife, Eva, who runs the emergency and rescue headquarters at the Gaza Regional Council, received a report of the attack and immediately notified the emergency teams without realizing that the victim was her husband.

Nisan Dolinger was laid to rest in the Gush Katif cemetery. He is survived by his wife Eva and their six children: Merav (21), Bella (18), Micky (15), Yaniv (13), Iyar (7.5) and Eden (6).
