Hazem opened fire at people sitting in a bar in Tel Aviv, killing three and wounding six, before he escaped.
After a massive manhunt was launched, which included military units, police anti-terror troops and volunteers, he was detected outside a Jaffa mosque and killed.
The attack took place during a terror wave which cost the lives of 18 Israelis. Most of the attacks were carried out by loan wolf actors who were not affiliated directly with any known terror infrastructure.
The attacks prompted the IDF to launch nearly nightly raids on the West Bank with a special emphasis on the Jenin area, where some of the terrorists originated.
On Sunday, two brothers from Jenin and another man, opened fire on a bus carrying troops in the Jordan valley, wounding seven. the brothers were captured soon after the attack while their third accomplice escaped and was still at large.
