He was convicted of intentionally causing the death of Dvir Sorek, an offense equivalent to murder in the West Bank. He served as the commander of a Hamas terror cell that was responsible for planning and carrying out the murder in August 2019 in Gush Etzion.

He was released from prison on February 27, 2025, after 5 years of imprisonment, as part of the seventh phase of the hostage deal. According to the terms of the deal, he was permanently expelled from the West Bank.
