Reports indicate that the operation was carried out through a meticulously planned deception. Hamas managed to recruit one of its members and present him as part of Abu Shabab's network.

After gaining the trust of Abu Shabab and his deputy, Ghassan al-Dahini, he became an insider, enabling him to carry out the mission at the opportune moment.

Yasser Abu Shabab was transferred to Soroka Hospital in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries.

His deputy, al-Dahini, sustained serious injuries and is still undergoing complex surgeries.
