Kidnapping
At home on a leave, Wachsman was instructed by the military to attend a one-day training course in northern Israel. He left Saturday night after the Shabbat and told his parents he would return Sunday night, 9 October 1994. He was last seen by a friend who reported that, after completing the training, Wachsman had been dropped off at the Bnai Atarot junction, a highly populated area in central Israel, where he could either catch a bus or hitchhike, a common practice by Israeli soldiers, to Jerusalem.
Israeli intelligence learned that Wachsman entered a car with Hamas militants wearing kippot, a Bible and siddur on the dashboard, and Chassidic music playing.
Mohammed Deif stated that he was the commander of the operation to abduct Wachsman.
