On that day Ismail, together with other armed militants, crossed the border and infiltrated Israeli territory. After the attack he returned to the Gaza Strip, where he continued his activity in terrorist organizations.

Throughout these years Israel has continued searching for those involved in the massacre: the IDF and the Shin Bet have been tracking down, one by one, those who crossed the border on October 7 and then hid in Gaza.

The strike on Ismail was carried out in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The terrorist was killed on the spot, and 12 of his accomplices were wounded.
