Eitan Haber, a former journalist and adviser to Yitzhak Rabin who tearfully announced the death of the assassinated Israeli prime minister in 1995, died Wednesday. He was 80.
Haber covered military affairs for daily Yedioth Ahronoth for 25 years and also appeared on Israeli TV and radio before becoming an adviser to Rabin, who was defense minister, in 1985. He later served as Rabin's bureau chief and speechwriter after he was elected prime minister in 1992.

When Rabin was gunned down by a Jewish ultra-nationalist at a peace rally on Nov. 4, 1995, it was Haber who announced the news of his death outside a Tel Aviv hospital.
