Rubowitz had joined the Jewish underground at a young age and was a courier who moved guns around the city and also hung Revisionist posters in streets and alleyways. Sometime around eight p.m. an eyewitness saw a “burly, fair-haired man” chasing Rubowitz down Haran Street. Two other boys nearby saw a six-seater sedan pull up, and after a violent struggle, the men inside forced Rubowitz into the back seat.
