 | | However, the Health Minister at the time, Ephraim Sneh, announced during the night of the murder that Rabin was hit by three bullets, and identified their precise locations: the chest, the spinal cord, and the stomach. |
 | | He testified at Amir's trial that one of the shots which killed Rabin was fired from point-blank range and was "characterized by a massed abundance of gunpowder, a large quantity of lead and a 6-centimeter tear [in Rabin's jacket]", Gladstein said, "...all the characteristics of a point blank shot". |
