Victim of First Intifada
The intifada began on 9 December 1987. Kalmanovich was driving from his West Bank home in Beit El to Jerusalem when a molotov cocktail was hurled "through the windshield" of his car.[9][10]
According to the Chicago Tribune, reporting shortly after the attack, "Kalmanovich is the first Israeli civilian to be seriously injured in the unrest since it began Dec. 9."[9][11] The skin of his face and a large part of his body was burned away.[1][12]
In popular culture
The firebombing of Kamanovich's car and the scarring injuries he sustained play a role in Naomi Ragen's 2007 novel about the First Intifada, The Covenant.[13][14]
