The assassination was carried out by Air Force aircraft that in mid-July targeted a compound where, according to precise intelligence from Military Intelligence and the Shin Bet, Daf and Rafe Salameh, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade, who had been assassinated several weeks earlier, were hiding. Additional terrorists were also eliminated along with them.
